Golang < 1.20.8 / 1.21.x < 1.21.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Golang Go installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

- QUIC connections do not set an upper bound on the amount of data buffered when reading post-handshake messages, allowing a malicious QUIC connection to cause unbounded memory growth. With fix, connections now consistently reject messages larger than 65KiB in size. (CVE-2023-39322)

- Processing an incomplete post-handshake message for a QUIC connection can cause a panic. (CVE-2023-39321)

- The html/template package does not properly handle HTML-like double quote comment tokens, nor hashbang #! comment tokens, in <script> contexts. This may cause the template parser to improperly interpret the contents of <script> contexts, causing actions to be improperly escaped. This may be leveraged to perform an XSS attack. (CVE-2023-39318)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Golang Go version 1.20.8, 1.21.1, or later.
