Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Code Injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU77528
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1:
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29402
CWE-ID:
Exploit availability:
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the cgo go command when building code that contains directories with newline characters in their names. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the cgo command at build time and potentially compromise the system.
Modules which are retrieved using the go command, i.e. via "go get", are not affected (modules retrieved using GOPATH-mode, i.e. GO111MODULE=off, may be affected).
