The version of golang installed on the remote host is prior to 1.18.5-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1846 advisory.

    2023-05-11: CVE-2022-1996 has changed status to NOT AFFECTED for this package and has been removed from     this advisory.

    A flaw was found in golang. The HTTP/1 client accepted invalid Transfer-Encoding headers indicating     chunked encoding. This issue could allow request smuggling, but only if combined with an intermediate     server that also improperly accepts the header as invalid. (CVE-2022-1705)

    A flaw was found in the golang standard library, go/parser. When calling any Parse functions on the Go     source code, which contains deeply nested types or declarations, a panic can occur due to stack     exhaustion. This issue allows an attacker to impact system availability. (CVE-2022-1962)

    A buffer overflow flaw was found in Golang's library encoding/pem. This flaw allows an attacker to use a     large PEM input (more than 5 MB) ), causing a stack overflow in Decode, which leads to a loss of     availability. (CVE-2022-24675)

    A broken cryptographic algorithm flaw was found in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh. This issue causes a client to     fail authentification with RSA keys to servers that reject signature algorithms based on SHA-2, enabling     an attacker to crash the server, resulting in a loss of availability. (CVE-2022-27191)

    A flaw was found in golang encoding/xml. When calling Decoder.Skip while parsing a deeply nested XML     document, a panic can occur due to stack exhaustion and allows an attacker to impact system availability.
    (CVE-2022-28131)

    An integer overflow flaw was found in Golang's crypto/elliptic library. This flaw allows an attacker to     use a crafted scaler input longer than 32 bytes, causing P256().ScalarMult or P256().ScalarBaseMult to     panic, leading to a loss of availability. (CVE-2022-28327)

    A flaw was found in the syscall.Faccessat function when calling a process by checking the group. This flaw     allows an attacker to check the process group permissions rather than a member of the file's group,     affecting system availability. (CVE-2022-29526)

    Non-random values for ticket_age_add in session tickets in crypto/tls before Go 1.17.11 and Go 1.18.3     allow an attacker that can observe TLS handshakes to correlate successive connections by comparing ticket     ages during session resumption. (CVE-2022-30629)

    A flaw was found in the golang standard library, io/fs. Calling Glob on a path that contains a large     number of path separators can cause a panic issue due to stack exhaustion. This could allow an attacker to     impact availability. (CVE-2022-30630)

    A flaw was found in golang. Calling the Reader.Read method on an archive that contains a large number of     concatenated 0-length compressed files can cause a panic issue due to stack exhaustion. (CVE-2022-30631)

    A flaw was found in golang. Calling Glob on a path that contains a large number of path separators can     cause a panic issue due to stack exhaustion. This can cause an attacker to impact availability.
    (CVE-2022-30632)

    Uncontrolled recursion in Unmarshal in encoding/xml before Go 1.17.12 and Go 1.18.4 allows an attacker to     cause a panic due to stack exhaustion via unmarshalling an XML document into a Go struct which has a     nested field that uses the any field tag. (CVE-2022-30633)

    A flaw was found in golang. When calling Decoder.Decode on a message that contains deeply nested     structures, a panic can occur due to stack exhaustion and allows an attacker to impact system     availability. (CVE-2022-30635)

    Improper exposure of client IP addresses in net/http before Go 1.17.12 and Go 1.18.4 can be triggered by     calling httputil.ReverseProxy.ServeHTTP with a Request.Header map containing a nil value for the     X-Forwarded-For header, which causes ReverseProxy to set the client IP as the value of the X-Forwarded-For     header. (CVE-2022-32148)

    An uncontrolled resource consumption flaw was found in Golang math/big. A too-short encoded message can     cause a panic in Float.GobDecode and Rat.GobDecode in math/big in Go, potentially allowing an attacker to     create a denial of service, impacting availability. (CVE-2022-32189)
