high Nessus Plugin ID 182800

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:4018-1 advisory.

- Line directives (//line) can be used to bypass the restrictions on //go:cgo_ directives, allowing blocked linker and compiler flags to be passed during compilation. This can result in unexpected execution of arbitrary code when running go build. The line directive requires the absolute path of the file in which the directive lives, which makes exploiting this issue significantly more complex. (CVE-2023-39323)

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 go1.20, go1.20-doc and / or go1.20-race packages.
