FreeBSD : go -- math/big: panic during recursive division of very large numbers; cmd/go: arbitrary code execution at build time through cgo (db4b2f27-252a-11eb-865c-00155d646400)

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The Go project reports :

A number of math/big.Int methods (Div, Exp, DivMod, Quo, Rem, QuoRem, Mod, ModInverse, ModSqrt, Jacobi, and GCD) can panic when provided crafted large inputs. For the panic to happen, the divisor or modulo argument must be larger than 3168 bits (on 32-bit architectures) or 6336 bits (on 64-bit architectures). Multiple math/big.Rat methods are similarly affected.

The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when cgo is in use. This may occur when running go get on a malicious package, or any other command that builds untrusted code. This can be caused by a malicious gcc flags specified via a #cgo directive.

The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when cgo is in use. This may occur when running go get on a malicious package, or any other command that builds untrusted code. This can be caused by malicious unquoted symbol names.

Solution

Update the affected package.
