go1.25.8 (released 2026-03-05) includes security fixes to the html/template, net/url, and os packages, as well as bug fixes to the go command, the compiler, and the os package. See the Go 1.25.8 milestone on our issue tracker for details. - 1.25.8 https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=milestone%3AGo1.25.8+label%3ACherryPickApproved - diff: https://github.com/golang/go/compare/go1.25.7...go1.25.8 - 1.26.1 https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=milestone%3AGo1.26.1+label%3ACherryPickApproved - diff: https://github.com/golang/go/compare/go1.26.0...go1.26.1 --- We have just released Go versions 1.26.1 and 1.25.8, minor point releases. These releases include 5 security fixes following the security policy: crypto/x509: incorrect enforcement of email constraints - When verifying a certificate chain which contains a certificate containing multiple email address constraints (composed of the full email address) which share common local portions (the portion of the address before the '@' character) but different domain portions (the portion of the address after the '@' character), these constraints will not be properly applied, and only the last constraint will be considered. This can allow certificates in the chain containing email addresses which are either not permitted or excluded by the relevant constraints to be returned by calls to Certificate.Verify. Since the name constraint checks happen after chain building is complete, this only applies to certificate chains which chain to trusted roots (root certificates either in VerifyOptions.Roots or in the system root certificate pool), requiring a trusted CA to issue certificates containing either not permitted or excluded email addresses. This issue only affects Go 1.26. Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue. This is CVE-2026-27137 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77952. - crypto/x509: panic in name constraint checking for malformed certificates Certificate verification can panic when a certificate in the chain has an empty DNS name and another certificate in the chain has excluded name constraints. This can crash programs that are either directly verifying X.509 certificate chains, or those that use TLS. Since the name constraint checks happen after chain building is complete, this only applies to certificate chains which chain to trusted roots (root certificates either in VerifyOptions.Roots or in the system root certificate pool), requiring a trusted CA to issue certificates containing malformed DNS names. This issue only affects Go 1.26. Thanks to Jakub Ciolek for reporting this issue. This is CVE-2026-27138 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77953. - html/template: URLs in meta content attribute actions are not escaped Actions which insert URLs into the content attribute of HTML meta tags are not escaped. This can allow XSS if the meta tag also has an http-equiv attribute with the value "refresh". A new GODEBUG setting has been added, htmlmetacontenturlescape, which can be used to disable escaping URLs in actions in the meta content attribute which follow "url=" by setting htmlmetacontenturlescape=0. This is CVE-2026-27142 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77954. - net/url: reject IPv6 literal not at start of host The Go standard library function net/url.Parse insufficiently validated the host/authority component and accepted some invalid URLs by effectively treating garbage before an IP-literal as ignorable. The function should have rejected this as invalid. To prevent this behavior, net/url.Parse now rejects IPv6 literals that do not appear at the start of the host subcomponent of a URL. Thanks to Masaki Hara (https://github.com/qnighy) of Wantedly. This is CVE-2026-25679 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77578. - os: FileInfo can escape from a Root On Unix platforms, when listing the contents of a directory using File.ReadDir or File.Readdir the returned FileInfo could reference a file outside of the Root in which the File was opened. The contents of the FileInfo were populated using the lstat system call, which takes the path to the file as a parameter. If a component of the full path of the file described by the FileInfo is replaced with a symbolic link, the target of the lstat can be directed to another location on the filesystem. The impact of this escape is limited to reading metadata provided by lstat from arbitrary locations on the filesystem. This could be used to probe for the presence or absence of files as well as gleaning metadata like file sizes, but does not permit reading or writing files outside the root. The FileInfo is now populated using fstatat. Thank you to Miloslav Trmač of Red Hat for reporting this issue. This is CVE-2026-27139 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/77827.

Docker Compose
Docker Compose is a tool for running multi-container applications on Docker
defined using the Compose file format.
A Compose file is used to define how one or more containers that make up
your application are configured.
Once you have a Compose file, you can create and start your application with a
single command: docker compose up.
Note
: About Docker Swarm Docker Swarm used to rely on the legacy compose file format but did not adopt the compose specification so is missing some of the recent enhancements in the compose syntax. After acquisition by Mirantis swarm isn't maintained by Docker Inc, and as such some Docker Compose features aren't accessible to swarm users.
Where to get Docker Compose
Windows and macOS
Docker Compose is included in Docker Desktop for Windows and macOS.
Linux
You can download Docker Compose binaries from the release page on this repository.
Rename the relevant binary for your OS to docker-compose and copy it to $HOME/.docker/cli-plugins
Or copy it into one of these folders to install it system-wide:
/usr/local/lib/docker/cli-pluginsOR/usr/local/libexec/docker/cli-plugins/usr/lib/docker/cli-pluginsOR/usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins
(might require making the downloaded file executable with chmod +x)
Quick Start
Using Docker Compose is a three-step process:
- Define your app's environment with a
Dockerfileso it can be reproduced anywhere. - Define the services that make up your app in
compose.yamlso they can be run together in an isolated environment. - Lastly, run
docker compose upand Compose will start and run your entire app.
A Compose file looks like this:
services:
web:
build: .
ports:
- "5000:5000"
volumes:
- .:/code
redis:
image: redis
