Debian DLA-1749-1 : golang security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 123690

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a CRLF injection attack in the Go programming language runtime library.

Passing \r\n to http.NewRequest could allow execution of arbitrary HTTP headers or Redis commands.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this issue has been fixed in golang version 2:1.3.3-1+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your golang packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
