 Bartek Nowotarski discovered that the Go net/http module did not properly validate the total size of the parsed form when parsing a multipart form. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a panic resulting into a denial of service. (CVE-2023-45290)

 John Howard discovered that the Go crypto/x509 module did not properly handle a certificate chain which contains a certificate with an unknown public key algorithm. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a panic resulting into a denial of service. (CVE-2024-24783)

 Juho Nurminen discovered that the Go net/mail module did not properly handle comments within display names in the ParseAddressList function. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a panic resulting into a denial of service. (CVE-2024-24784)

 It was discovered that the Go html/template module did not validate errors returned from MarshalJSON methods. An attacker could possibly use this issue to inject arbitrary code into the Go template.
 (CVE-2024-24785)

 Yufan You discovered that the Go archive/zip module did not properly handle certain types of invalid zip files differs from the behavior of most zip implementations. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a panic resulting into a denial of service. (CVE-2024-24789)

 Enze Wang and Jianjun Chen discovered that the Go net/netip module did not work as expected for IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses in various Is methods. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a panic resulting into a denial of service. (CVE-2024-24790)

 Geoff Franks discovered that the Go net/http module did not properly handle responses to requests with an Expect: 100-continue header under certain circumstances. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-24791)

 It was discovered that the Go parser module did not properly handle deeply nested literal values. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a panic resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-34155)

 Md Sakib Anwar discovered that the Go encoding/gob module did not properly handle message decoding under certain circumstances. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a panic resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-34156)

 It was discovered that the Go build module did not properly handle certain build tag lines with deeply nested expressions. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a panic resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-34158)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu 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

Update the affected golang-1.18, golang-1.18-go and / or golang-1.18-src packages.
