Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2023-45285

high Nessus Plugin ID 227406

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- Using go get to fetch a module with the .git suffix may unexpectedly fallback to the insecure git:// protocol if the module is unavailable via the secure https:// and git+ssh:// protocols, even if GOINSECURE is not set for said module. This only affects users who are not using the module proxy and are fetching modules directly (i.e. GOPROXY=off). (CVE-2023-45285)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
