The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2022-24267 advisory.

  - Uncontrolled recursion in the Parse functions in go/parser before Go 1.17.12 and Go 1.18.4 allow an     attacker to cause a panic due to stack exhaustion via deeply nested types or declarations. (CVE-2022-1962)

  - Requests forwarded by ReverseProxy include the raw query parameters from the inbound request, including     unparseable parameters rejected by net/http. This could permit query parameter smuggling when a Go proxy     forwards a parameter with an unparseable value. After fix, ReverseProxy sanitizes the query parameters in     the forwarded query when the outbound request's Form field is set after the ReverseProxy. Director     function returns, indicating that the proxy has parsed the query parameters. Proxies which do not parse     query parameters continue to forward the original query parameters unchanged. (CVE-2022-2880)

  - Reader.Read does not set a limit on the maximum size of file headers. A maliciously crafted archive could     cause Read to allocate unbounded amounts of memory, potentially causing resource exhaustion or panics.
    After fix, Reader.Read limits the maximum size of header blocks to 1 MiB. (CVE-2022-2879)

  - In Decoder.Skip in encoding/xml in Go before 1.17.12 and 1.18.x before 1.18.4, stack exhaustion and a     panic can occur via a deeply nested XML document. (CVE-2022-28131)

  - Programs which compile regular expressions from untrusted sources may be vulnerable to memory exhaustion     or denial of service. The parsed regexp representation is linear in the size of the input, but in some     cases the constant factor can be as high as 40,000, making relatively small regexps consume much larger     amounts of memory. After fix, each regexp being parsed is limited to a 256 MB memory footprint. Regular     expressions whose representation would use more space than that are rejected. Normal use of regular     expressions is unaffected. (CVE-2022-41715)

  - Uncontrolled recursion in Unmarshal in encoding/xml before Go 1.17.12 and Go 1.18.4 allows an attacker to     cause a panic due to stack exhaustion via unmarshalling an XML document into a Go struct which has a     nested field that uses the 'any' field tag. (CVE-2022-30633)

  - In net/http in Go before 1.18.6 and 1.19.x before 1.19.1, attackers can cause a denial of service because     an HTTP/2 connection can hang during closing if shutdown were preempted by a fatal error. (CVE-2022-27664)

  - Acceptance of some invalid Transfer-Encoding headers in the HTTP/1 client in net/http before Go 1.17.12     and Go 1.18.4 allows HTTP request smuggling if combined with an intermediate server that also improperly     fails to reject the header as invalid. (CVE-2022-1705)

  - Uncontrolled recursion in Reader.Read in compress/gzip before Go 1.17.12 and Go 1.18.4 allows an attacker     to cause a panic due to stack exhaustion via an archive containing a large number of concatenated 0-length     compressed files. (CVE-2022-30631)

  - Improper exposure of client IP addresses in net/http before Go 1.17.12 and Go 1.18.4 can be triggered by     calling httputil.ReverseProxy.ServeHTTP with a Request.Header map containing a nil value for the     X-Forwarded-For header, which causes ReverseProxy to set the client IP as the value of the X-Forwarded-For     header. (CVE-2022-32148)

  - JoinPath and URL.JoinPath do not remove ../ path elements appended to a relative path. For example,     JoinPath(https://go.dev, ../go) returns the URL https://go.dev/../go, despite the JoinPath     documentation stating that ../ path elements are removed from the result. (CVE-2022-32190)

  - A too-short encoded message can cause a panic in Float.GobDecode and Rat GobDecode in math/big in Go     before 1.17.13 and 1.18.5, potentially allowing a denial of service. (CVE-2022-32189)

  - Uncontrolled recursion in Glob in io/fs before Go 1.17.12 and Go 1.18.4 allows an attacker to cause a     panic due to stack exhaustion via a path which contains a large number of path separators.
    (CVE-2022-30630)

  - Uncontrolled recursion in Glob in path/filepath before Go 1.17.12 and Go 1.18.4 allows an attacker to     cause a panic due to stack exhaustion via a path containing a large number of path separators.
    (CVE-2022-30632)

  - Due to unsanitized NUL values, attackers may be able to maliciously set environment variables on Windows.
    In syscall.StartProcess and os/exec.Cmd, invalid environment variable values containing NUL values are not     properly checked for. A malicious environment variable value can exploit this behavior to set a value for     a different environment variable. For example, the environment variable string A=B\x00C=D sets the     variables A=B and C=D. (CVE-2022-41716)

  - Uncontrolled recursion in Decoder.Decode in encoding/gob before Go 1.17.12 and Go 1.18.4 allows an     attacker to cause a panic due to stack exhaustion via a message which contains deeply nested structures.
    (CVE-2022-30635)
