OpenTofu has unbounded memory usage, high CPU usage, or deadlock in "tofu init" with maliciously-crafted dependency responses

When installing module packages from attacker-controlled sources, tofu init may use unbounded memory, cause high CPU usage, or deadlock when encountering maliciously-crafted TLS certificate chains or tar archives. Those who depend on modules or providers served from untrusted third-party servers may experience denial of service due to tofu init failing to complete successfully. In the case of unbounded memory usage or high CPU usage, other processes running on the same …

OpenTofu has High CPU usage in "tofu init" with maliciously-crafted module packages in .zip format

When installing module packages from attacker-controlled sources, tofu init may cause high CPU usage when encountering maliciously-crafted .zip archives for either provider or module distribution packages. Those who depend on modules or providers served from untrusted third-party servers may experience denial of service due to tofu init failing to complete in a timely manner. Other processes running on the same computer as OpenTofu may also have their performance degraded due …

OpenTofu incorrectly validates excluded subdomain constraint in conjunction with TLS certificates containing wildcard SANs

When OpenTofu is acting as a TLS client authenticating a certificate chain provided by a TLS server, an excluded subdomain constraint in a certificate chain does not restrict the usage of wildcard SANs in the leaf certificate. For example a constraint that excludes the subdomain test.example.com does not prevent a leaf certificate from claiming the SAN *.example.com.

OpenTofu affected denials of service in "tofu init" with maliciously-crafted module package responses
