x/vulndb: potential Go vuln in github.com/notaryproject/notation-go: CVE-2023-25656

[GoVulnBot]

CVE-2023-25656 references github.com/notaryproject/notation-go, which may be a Go module.

Description:
notation-go is a collection of libraries for supporting Notation sign, verify, push, pull of oci artifacts. Prior to version 1.0.0-rc.3, notation-go users will find their application using excessive memory when verifying signatures and the application will be finally killed, and thus availability is impacted. The problem has been patched in the release v1.0.0-rc.3. Some workarounds are available. Users can review their own trust policy file and check if the identity string contains =#. Meanwhile, users should only put trusted certificates in their trust stores referenced by their own trust policy files, and make sure the authenticity validation is set to enforce.
