Summary
Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2023 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-97030: A trusted template author may have previously written a valid template wherein the use of the |yield| keyword would not be correctly escaped. We now ensure that valid keyword uses are escaped and non-keyword uses are not escaped. NOTE: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/10/08/9 NOTE: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/81823 NOTE: Fixed by: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/6e2cfab0a1c1683c52f9e09270627b0c4e6446e3 (go1.27.2) NOTE: Fixed by: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/5d84f6f08caf63b5f1300930368756bd34955f4a (go1.26.9) CVE-2026-94448: When a JavaScript template literal contains consecutive expressions, the context tracking state was not properly reset upon entering a new expression. We now ensure that template-literal expression entries correctly reset context variables so all subsequent regular expression literals are accurately recognized and escaped. NOTE: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/10/08/9 NOTE: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/81821 NOTE: Fixed by: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/b26d150e6985f804826f4fcb1aa33aa81e700b52 (go1.27.2) NOTE: Fixed by: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/e59c03e695f2eaa26e308f756c83773afb034e47 (go1.26.9) CVE-2026-94440: Parsing a multipart form could bypass memory limits and read an arbitrarily long line into memory when the remaining limit at the start of a part was less than 400 bytes. Multipart form memory limits are now properly enforced in this situation. NOTE: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/10/08/9 NOTE: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/81741 NOTE: Fixed by: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/7c79b50a74b6d1aa4269b1827dda7d81f3717f9d (go1.27.2) NOTE: Fixed by: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/d7a7aa8e6781ddf8dce12adf60a813d957d4763e (go1.26.9) CVE-2026-94439: When an HTTP server handler sent a 2xx response to an HTTP/1 CONNECT request and returned without hijacking the connection, the server improperly continued to read and serve requests from the connection. Since a 2xx response to an HTTP/1 CONNECT converts the connection into a tunnel, the server should not treat the connection as continuing to contain HTTP. The impact of this misbehavior is mostly limited to potential request smuggling, where an intermediate proxy considers the data on the connection to be tunneled and the server considers it to be HTTP. The HTTP/1 server now always closes a connection after responding to a CONNECT request, regardless of the response status. NOTE: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/10/08/9 NOTE: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/81744 NOTE: Fixed by: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/e92229e24a387cc006a750af176b07a459ba71a1 (go1.27.2) NOTE: Fixed by: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/087de1ff08ea620ac2f6ae26c939454cb793883a (go1.26.9) CVE-2026-78667: When parsing a Range header containing a large number of small ranges, FileServer(FS), ServeContent, and ServeFile(FS) could consume an excessive amount of CPU. These functions now ignore Range headers containing more than 200 ranges. The limit is controlled by the new httpservecontentmaxranges=GODEBUG setting. Setting GODEBUG=httpservecontentmaxranges=0 disables the limit. NOTE: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/10/08/9 NOTE: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/81858 NOTE: Fixed by: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/ababc3cd873d8acce1777268aa7a817e6b672028 (go1.27.2) NOTE: Fixed by: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/eb25b4e532c5a01f99ef860ec66743a8783f992b (go1.26.9) CVE-2026-78663: The HTTP/2 server could refund connection-level flow control twice for the same data: Once when a client resets a stream (refunding data for any sent-but-unread portion of the stream), and again when a request handler reads the buffered data. A malicious client could exploit this to bypass the configured connection-level flow control limit (MaxReceiveBufferPerConnection). Total buffered data is still limited by the concurrent stream limit and stream-level flow control. The HTTP/2 server now waits to refund connection-level flow control for reset streams until after the request handler is complete. NOTE: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/10/08/9 NOTE: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/81743 NOTE: Fixed by: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/31dc9e2449e394439498142451627af52626d7c4 (go1.27.2) NOTE: Fixed by: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/6e049521882c944afc1e519a83971ec421dc2974 (go1.26.9) CVE-2026-78659: When "Trailer" headers are sent by a client, the HTTP server internally uses the header values to populate the Request.Trailer map passed to the server handler. Because Request.Trailer is a map, each entry incurs memory overhead. For HTTP/2 servers, a malicious client can exploit this by sending a "Trailer" header that declares a large number of fields causing the server to allocate a disproportionate amount of memory while bypassing Server.MaxHeaderValueCount and Server.MaxHeaderBytes limits. This exploit is not applicable for HTTP/1 servers, which do not support multiplexing a large number of requests over one TCP connection, and whose Server.MaxHeaderBytes are calculated differently. Server.MaxHeaderValueCount and Server.MaxHeaderBytes limits are now applied towards the trailer fields declared in "Trailer" headers.

Double flow control refund on HTTP/2 server streams in net/http

HTTP/2 server memory exhaustion due to Trailer headers in net/http
When "Trailer" headers are sent by a client, the HTTP server internally uses the header values to populate the Request.Trailer map passed to the server handler. Because Request.Trailer is a map, each entry incurs memory overhead. For HTTP/2 servers, a malicio…
