SCA: security update for github.com/golang-fips/openssl/v2, github.com/microsoft/go-crypto-openssl/openssl (GHSA-78hx-gp6g-7mj6)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411941
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- A memory leak flaw was found in Golang in the RSA encrypting/decrypting code, which might lead to a
resource exhaustion vulnerability using attacker-controlled inputs. The memory leak happens in
github.com/golang-fips/openssl/openssl/rsa.go#L113. The objects leaked are pkey and ctx. That function
uses named return parameters to free pkey and ctx if there is an error initializing the context or
setting the different properties. All return statements related to error cases follow the "return nil,
nil, fail(...)" pattern, meaning that pkey and ctx will be nil inside the deferred function that should
free them. (CVE-2024-1394)
