The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2021:0060 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2019-14809:
    net/url in Go before 1.11.13 and 1.12.x before 1.12.8 mishandles malformed hosts in URLs, leading to an     authorization bypass in some applications. This is related to a Host field with a suffix appearing in     neither Hostname() nor Port(), and is related to a non-numeric port number. For example, an attacker can     compose a crafted javascript:// URL that results in a hostname of google.com.

    CVE-2020-14040:
    The x/text package before 0.3.3 for Go has a vulnerability in encoding/unicode that could lead to the     UTF-16 decoder entering an infinite loop, causing the program to crash or run out of memory. An attacker     could provide a single byte to a UTF16 decoder instantiated with UseBOM or ExpectBOM to trigger an     infinite loop if the String function on the Decoder is called, or the Decoder is passed to     golang.org/x/text/transform.String.

    CVE-2020-28362:
    Go before 1.14.12 and 1.15.x before 1.15.4 allows Denial of Service. A flaw was found in the math/big     package of Go's standard library that causes a denial of service. Applications written in Go that use     math/big via cryptographic packages, including crypto/rsa and crypto/x509, are vulnerable and can     potentially cause panic via a crafted certificate chain. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     system availability.

    CVE-2020-28366:
    Go before 1.14.12 and 1.15.x before 1.15.5 allows Code Injection. An input validation vulnerability was     found in Go. From a generated go file (from the cgo tool), it is possible to modify symbols within that     object file and specify code. This flaw allows an attacker to create a repository that includes malicious     pre-built object files that could execute arbitrary code when downloaded and run via `go get` or `go     build` while building a Go project. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality,     integrity, as well as system availability.

    CVE-2020-28367:
    Go before 1.14.12 and 1.15.x before 1.15.5 allows Argument Injection. An input validation vulnerability     was found in Go. If cgo is specified in a Go file, it is possible to bypass the validation of arguments to     the gcc compiler. This flaw allows an attacker to create a malicious repository that can execute arbitrary     code when downloaded and run via `go get` or `go build` while building a Go project. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.

    CVE-2021-3114:
    In Go before 1.14.14 and 1.15.x before 1.15.7, crypto/elliptic/p224.go can generate incorrect outputs,     related to an underflow of the lowest limb during the final complete reduction in the P-224 field. A flaw     detected in golang: crypto/elliptic, in which P-224 keys as generated can return incorrect inputs,     reducing the strength of the cryptography. The highest threat from this vulnerability is confidentiality     and integrity.

    CVE-2021-27918:
    encoding/xml in Go before 1.15.9 and 1.16.x before 1.16.1 has an infinite loop if a custom TokenReader     (for xml.NewTokenDecoder) returns EOF in the middle of an element. This can occur in the Decode,     DecodeElement, or Skip method.

    CVE-2021-31525:
    net/http in Go before 1.15.12 and 1.16.x before 1.16.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (panic) via a large header to ReadRequest or ReadResponse. Server, Transport, and Client can each     be affected in some configurations.

    CVE-2021-33196:
    In archive/zip in Go before 1.15.13 and 1.16.x before 1.16.5, a crafted file count (in an archive's     header) can cause a NewReader or OpenReader panic.

    CVE-2021-34558:
    The crypto/tls package of Go through 1.16.5 does not properly assert that the type of public key in an     X.509 certificate matches the expected type when doing a RSA based key exchange, allowing a malicious TLS     server to cause a TLS client to panic.

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Code injection in the go command with cgo before Go 1.14.12 and Go 1.15.5 allows arbitrary code execution     at build time via a malicious unquoted symbol name in a linked object file. (CVE-2020-28366)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

- Rebase to go1.14.13

  - Security fix for CVE-2020-28362, CVE-2020-28367 and     CVE-2020-28366
