CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: msft-golang / golang (CVE-2023-29404)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 177814

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of msft-golang / golang installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-29404 advisory.

 - The go command May execute arbitrary code at build time when using cgo. This May occur when running go get on a malicious module, or when running any other command which builds untrusted code. This is can by triggered by linker flags, specified via a #cgo LDFLAGS directive. The arguments for a number of flags which are non-optional are incorrectly considered optional, allowing disallowed flags to be smuggled through the LDFLAGS sanitization. This affects usage of both the gc and gccgo compilers. (CVE-2023-29404)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
