FreeBSD : go -- multiple vulnerabilities (61bce714-ca0c-11ec-9cfc-10c37b4ac2ea)

high Nessus Plugin ID 160420

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 61bce714-ca0c-11ec-9cfc-10c37b4ac2ea advisory.

- encoding/pem in Go before 1.17.9 and 1.8.x before 1.8.1 has a Decode stack overflow via a large amount of PEM data. (CVE-2022-24675)

- Certificate.Verify in crypto/x509 in Go 1.18.x before 1.18.1 can be caused to panic on macOS when presented with certain malformed certificates. This allows a remote TLS server to cause a TLS client to panic. (CVE-2022-27536)

- The generic P-256 feature in crypto/elliptic in Go before 1.17.9 and 1.18.x before 1.18.1 allows a panic via long scalar input. (CVE-2022-28327)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
