| description: | |
| The Verify function in crypto/dsa passed certain parameters unchecked to |
| the underlying big integer library, possibly leading to extremely |
| long-running computations, which in turn makes Go programs vulnerable to |
| remote denial of service attacks. Programs using HTTPS client certificates |
| or the Go SSH server libraries are both exposed to this vulnerability. |
