CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: msft-golang (CVE-2023-29402)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 177815

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of msft-golang installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-29402 advisory.

 - The go command may generate unexpected code at build time when using cgo. This may result in unexpected behavior when running a go program which uses cgo. This may occur when running an untrusted module which contains directories with newline characters in their names. Modules which are retrieved using the go command, i.e. via go get, are not affected (modules retrieved using GOPATH-mode, i.e. GO111MODULE=off, may be affected). (CVE-2023-29402)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
