Amazon Linux 2 : golang (ALAS-2024-2643)

high Nessus Plugin ID 208109

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of golang installed on the remote host is prior to 1.22.7-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2643 advisory.

Calling any of the Parse functions on Go source code which contains deeply nested literals can cause a panic due to stack exhaustion. (CVE-2024-34155)

Calling Decoder.Decode on a message which contains deeply nested structures can cause a panic due to stack exhaustion. This is a follow-up to CVE-2022-30635. (CVE-2024-34156)

Calling Parse on a // +build build tag line with deeply nested expressions can cause a panic due to stack exhaustion. (CVE-2024-34158)

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.

Solution

Run 'yum update golang' to update your system.
