Using go get to fetch a module with the ".git" suffix may unexpectedly fallback to the insecure "git://" protocol if the module is unavailable via the secure "https://" and "git+ssh://" protocols, even if GOINSECURE is not set for said module. This only affects users who are not using the module proxy and are fetching modules directly (i.e. GOPROXY=off).

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202408-07 (Go: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Go. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below     for details.

An update of the go package has been released.

According to the versions of the golang packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A malicious HTTP sender can use chunk extensions to cause a receiver reading from a request or response     body to read many more bytes from the network than are in the body. A malicious HTTP client can further     exploit this to cause a server to automatically read a large amount of data (up to about 1GiB) when a     handler fails to read the entire body of a request. Chunk extensions are a little-used HTTP feature which     permit including additional metadata in a request or response body sent using the chunked encoding. The     net/http chunked encoding reader discards this metadata. A sender can exploit this by inserting a large     metadata segment with each byte transferred. The chunk reader now produces an error if the ratio of real     body to encoded bytes grows too small. (CVE-2023-39326)

  - Using go get to fetch a module with the '.git' suffix may unexpectedly fallback to the insecure 'git://'     protocol if the module is unavailable via the secure 'https://' and 'git+ssh://' protocols, even if     GOINSECURE is not set for said module. This only affects users who are not using the module proxy and are     fetching modules directly (i.e. GOPROXY=off). (CVE-2023-45285)
