EulerOS 2.0 SP9 : golang (EulerOS-SA-2023-2896)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 188123

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the golang packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - Extremely large RSA keys in certificate chains can cause a client/server to expend significant CPU time verifying signatures. With fix, the size of RSA keys transmitted during handshakes is restricted to <= 8192 bits. Based on a survey of publicly trusted RSA keys, there are currently only three certificates in circulation with keys larger than this, and all three appear to be test certificates that are not actively deployed. It is possible there are larger keys in use in private PKIs, but we target the web PKI, so causing breakage here in the interests of increasing the default safety of users of crypto/tls seems reasonable. (CVE-2023-29409)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected golang packages.
