Amazon Linux 2 : golang (ALAS-2025-2795)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 233376

Language:

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 1.23.7-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2795 advisory.

 net/http: sensitive headers incorrectly sent after cross-domain redirect

 The HTTP client drops sensitive headers after following a cross-domain redirect.For example, a request to a.com/ containing an Authorization header which isredirected to b.com/ will not send that header to b.com.

 In the event that the client received a subsequent same-domain redirect, however,the sensitive headers would be restored. For example, a chain of redirects froma.com/, to b.com/1, and finally to b.com/2 would incorrectly send the Authorizationheader to b.com/2.

 Thanks to Kyle Seely for reporting this issue. (CVE-2024-45336)

 crypto/x509: usage of IPv6 zone IDs can bypass URI name constraints

 A certificate with a URI which has a IPv6 address with a zone ID mayincorrectly satisfy a URI name constraint that applies to the certificatechain.

 Certificates containing URIs are not permitted in the web PKI, so thisonly affects users of private PKIs which make use of URIs.

 Thanks to Juho Forsen of Mattermost for reporting this issue. (CVE-2024-45341)
