Description
This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45285)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a fallback to insecure git. 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. OPROXY=off).
2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39326)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling HTTP chunked requests. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests to the server and consume excessive memory resources.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45283)
The vulnerability allows a local user to bypass implemented security restrictions.
4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39323)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing line directives (e.g. "//line") in the code. A remote attacker can bypass restrictions on "//go:cgo_" directives, allowing blocked linker and compiler flags to be passed during compilation. This can result in unexpected execution of arbitrary code when running "go build".
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39325)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive consumption of internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can bypass the http2.Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting by creating new connections while the current connections are still being processed, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39318)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data within the html/template package when handling HMTL-like "<!--" and "-->" comment tokens, nor hashbang "#!" comment tokens, in <script> contexts. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39321)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in crypto/tls when processing post-handshake message on QUIC connections. A remote attacker can send an incomplete post-handshake message for a QUIC connection and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39319)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists within the html/template package caused by improperly applied rules for handling occurrences of "<script", "<!--", and "</script" within JS literals in <script> contexts. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
9) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39322)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in crypto/tls when processing post-handshake message on QUIC connections. A remote attacker can send an incomplete post-handshake message for a QUIC connection and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39320)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the go.mod toolchain directive. A remote attacker can execute scripts and binaries relative to the root of the module when the "go" command was executed within the module. This applies to modules downloaded using the "go" command from the module proxy, as well as modules downloaded directly using VCS software.
