CVE-2025-61723

A potential denial of service flaw has been discovered in the golang encoding/pem module. Due to the design of the PEM parsing function, the processing time for some inputs scales non-linearly with respect to the size of the input. This affects programs which parse untrusted PEM inputs and may result in an unresponsive program should an attacker exploit it.
