CVE-2026-56862 PUBLISHED

Limit handshake messages we are willing to accept post-handshake in crypto/tls

Assigner: Go
Reserved: 23.06.2026 Published: 13.08.2026 Updated: 14.08.2026

Handshake messages, such as KeyUpdate, are always considered as state-advancing, regardless of whether a handshake has been completed or not. As a result, a malicious client can keep sending KeyUpdate messages to force the server to keep performing key derivation operations indefinitely.
