Medium (5.3) in golang crypto. EPSS 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in golang.org/x/crypto 0.52.0.
SSH servers which use CertChecker as a public key callback without setting IsUserAuthority or IsHostAuthority could be caused to panic by a client presenting a certificate. CertChecker now returns an error instead of panicking when these callbacks are nil.
