Azure Linux 3.0 Security Update: golang / msft-golang (CVE-2022-41722)

high Nessus Plugin ID 215597

Synopsis

The remote Azure Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of golang / msft-golang installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2022-41722 advisory.

- A path traversal vulnerability exists in filepath.Clean on Windows. On Windows, the filepath.Clean function could transform an invalid path such as a/../c:/b into the valid path c:\b. This transformation of a relative (if invalid) path into an absolute path could enable a directory traversal attack. After fix, the filepath.Clean function transforms this path into the relative (but still invalid) path .\c:\b. (CVE-2022-41722)

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 packages.
