Descriptions

Verifying a certificate chain which contains a certificate with an unknown public key algorithm will cause Certificate.Verify to panic. This affects all crypto/tls clients, and servers that set Config.ClientAuth to VerifyClientCertIfGiven or RequireAndVerifyClientCert. The default behavior is for TLS servers to not verify client certificates.

La verificación de una cadena de certificados que contiene un certificado con un algoritmo de clave pública desconocido provocará que Certificate.Verify entre en pánico. Esto afecta a todos los clientes cripto/tls y a los servidores que configuran Config.ClientAuth en VerifyClientCertIfGiven o RequireAndVerifyClientCert. El comportamiento predeterminado es que los servidores TLS no verifiquen los certificados de los clientes.

A flaw was found in Go's crypto/x509 standard library package. Verifying a certificate chain that contains a certificate with an unknown public key algorithm will cause a Certificate.Verify to panic. This issue affects all crypto/tls clients and servers that set Config.ClientAuth to VerifyClientCertIfGiven or RequireAndVerifyClientCert.
