CVE-2025-68121: Critical vulnerability in Go

[iamigui]

Expected Behaviour
We noticed that knative-serving v1.21.0 appears to be built with Go 1.24.0, and that GHSA-h355-32pf-p2xm (crypto/tls session resumption issue) — rated Critical severity — is fixed in:

Go 1.24.13
Go 1.25.7
Go 1.26.0-rc3

Could you please let us know when the next knative-serving release is expected?

Hi Miguel,
thanks for the report!

I can confirm that the serving binaries are built with 1.25.6 (I only checked the activator), govulncheck also shows the finding:

I'm not sure how, if and when a patch release is triggered, @dprotaso how should we proceed?

I don't believe that's accurate - how did you determine this?

I'm not sure how, if and when a patch release is triggered, @dprotaso how should we proceed?

Our prow CI is now using 1.25.7 as of two weeks ago - knative/infra#800

Thus if we make a noop change on the branch it should be re-released next Tuesday

I would say most users wouldn't be affected by this unless you're using system-internal-tls - even then the CA cert would need to rotate and we expect that to have a very long life (~years)
