The version of golang installed on the remote host is prior to 1.20.12-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2388 advisory.

    A malicious HTTP sender can use chunk extensions to cause a receiver reading from a request or response     body to read many more bytes from the network than are in the body. A malicious HTTP client can further     exploit this to cause a server to automatically read a large amount of data (up to about 1GiB) when a     handler fails to read the entire body of a request. Chunk extensions are a little-used HTTP feature which     permit including additional metadata in a request or response body sent using the chunked encoding. The     net/http chunked encoding reader discards this metadata. A sender can exploit this by inserting a large     metadata segment with each byte transferred. The chunk reader now produces an error if the ratio of real     body to encoded bytes grows too small. (CVE-2023-39326)

    path/filepath: recognize \??\ as a Root Local Device path prefix.

    On Windows, a path beginning with \??\ is a Root Local Device path equivalentto a path beginning with     \\?\. Paths with a \??\ prefix may be used toaccess arbitrary locations on the system. For example, the     path \??\c:\xis equivalent to the more common path c:\x.

    The filepath package did not recognize paths with a \??\ prefix as special.

    Clean could convert a rooted path such as \a\..\??\b intothe root local device path \??\b. It will now     convert thispath into .\??\b.

    IsAbs did not report paths beginning with \??\ as absolute.It now does so.

    VolumeName now reports the \??\ prefix as a volume name.

    Join(`\`, `??`, `b`) could convert a seemingly innocentsequence of path elements into the root local     device path\??\b. It will now convert this to \.\??\b. (CVE-2023-45283)

    path/filepath: recognize device names with trailing spaces and superscripts

    The IsLocal function did not correctly detect reserved names in some cases:

    - reserved names followed by spaces, such as COM1 .- COM or LPT followed by a superscript 1, 2, or     3.

    IsLocal now correctly reports these names as non-local. (CVE-2023-45284)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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