The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the toolbox-0.0.99.4-3.el9 build changelog.

  - Large handshake records may cause panics in crypto/tls. Both clients and servers may send large TLS     handshake records which cause servers and clients, respectively, to panic when attempting to construct     responses. This affects all TLS 1.3 clients, TLS 1.2 clients which explicitly enable session resumption     (by setting Config.ClientSessionCache to a non-nil value), and TLS 1.3 servers which request client     certificates (by setting Config.ClientAuth >= RequestClientCert). (CVE-2022-41724)

  - A denial of service is possible from excessive resource consumption in net/http and mime/multipart.
    Multipart form parsing with mime/multipart.Reader.ReadForm can consume largely unlimited amounts of memory     and disk files. This also affects form parsing in the net/http package with the Request methods FormFile,     FormValue, ParseMultipartForm, and PostFormValue. ReadForm takes a maxMemory parameter, and is documented     as storing up to maxMemory bytes +10MB (reserved for non-file parts) in memory. File parts which cannot     be stored in memory are stored on disk in temporary files. The unconfigurable 10MB reserved for non-file     parts is excessively large and can potentially open a denial of service vector on its own. However,     ReadForm did not properly account for all memory consumed by a parsed form, such as map entry overhead,     part names, and MIME headers, permitting a maliciously crafted form to consume well over 10MB. In     addition, ReadForm contained no limit on the number of disk files created, permitting a relatively small     request body to create a large number of disk temporary files. With fix, ReadForm now properly accounts     for various forms of memory overhead, and should now stay within its documented limit of 10MB + maxMemory     bytes of memory consumption. Users should still be aware that this limit is high and may still be     hazardous. In addition, ReadForm now creates at most one on-disk temporary file, combining multiple form     parts into a single temporary file. The mime/multipart.File interface type's documentation states, If     stored on disk, the File's underlying concrete type will be an *os.File.. This is no longer the case when     a form contains more than one file part, due to this coalescing of parts into a single file. The previous     behavior of using distinct files for each form part may be reenabled with the environment variable     GODEBUG=multipartfiles=distinct. Users should be aware that multipart.ReadForm and the http.Request     methods that call it do not limit the amount of disk consumed by temporary files. Callers can limit the     size of form data with http.MaxBytesReader. (CVE-2022-41725)

  - HTTP and MIME header parsing can allocate large amounts of memory, even when parsing small inputs,     potentially leading to a denial of service. Certain unusual patterns of input data can cause the common     function used to parse HTTP and MIME headers to allocate substantially more memory than required to hold     the parsed headers. An attacker can exploit this behavior to cause an HTTP server to allocate large     amounts of memory from a small request, potentially leading to memory exhaustion and a denial of service.
    With fix, header parsing now correctly allocates only the memory required to hold parsed headers.
    (CVE-2023-24534)

  - Multipart form parsing can consume large amounts of CPU and memory when processing form inputs containing     very large numbers of parts. This stems from several causes: 1. mime/multipart.Reader.ReadForm limits the     total memory a parsed multipart form can consume. ReadForm can undercount the amount of memory consumed,     leading it to accept larger inputs than intended. 2. Limiting total memory does not account for increased     pressure on the garbage collector from large numbers of small allocations in forms with many parts. 3.
    ReadForm can allocate a large number of short-lived buffers, further increasing pressure on the garbage     collector. The combination of these factors can permit an attacker to cause an program that parses     multipart forms to consume large amounts of CPU and memory, potentially resulting in a denial of service.
    This affects programs that use mime/multipart.Reader.ReadForm, as well as form parsing in the net/http     package with the Request methods FormFile, FormValue, ParseMultipartForm, and PostFormValue. With fix,     ReadForm now does a better job of estimating the memory consumption of parsed forms, and performs many     fewer short-lived allocations. In addition, the fixed mime/multipart.Reader imposes the following limits     on the size of parsed forms: 1. Forms parsed with ReadForm may contain no more than 1000 parts. This limit     may be adjusted with the environment variable GODEBUG=multipartmaxparts=. 2. Form parts parsed with     NextPart and NextRawPart may contain no more than 10,000 header fields. In addition, forms parsed with     ReadForm may contain no more than 10,000 header fields across all parts. This limit may be adjusted with     the environment variable GODEBUG=multipartmaxheaders=. (CVE-2023-24536)

  - Templates do not properly consider backticks (`) as Javascript string delimiters, and do not escape them     as expected. Backticks are used, since ES6, for JS template literals. If a template contains a Go template     action within a Javascript template literal, the contents of the action can be used to terminate the     literal, injecting arbitrary Javascript code into the Go template. As ES6 template literals are rather     complex, and themselves can do string interpolation, the decision was made to simply disallow Go template     actions from being used inside of them (e.g. var a = {{.}}), since there is no obviously safe way to     allow this behavior. This takes the same approach as github.com/google/safehtml. With fix, Template.Parse     returns an Error when it encounters templates like this, with an ErrorCode of value 12. This ErrorCode is     currently unexported, but will be exported in the release of Go 1.21. Users who rely on the previous     behavior can re-enable it using the GODEBUG flag jstmpllitinterp=1, with the caveat that backticks will     now be escaped. This should be used with caution. (CVE-2023-24538)

The remote Red Hat Enterprise Linux CoreOS 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:1325 advisory.

  - The golang.org/x/crypto/ssh package before 0.0.0-20220314234659-1baeb1ce4c0b for Go allows an attacker to     crash a server in certain circumstances involving AddHostKey. (CVE-2022-27191)

  - An incorrect handling of the supplementary groups in the Buildah container engine might lead to the     sensitive information disclosure or possible data modification if an attacker has direct access to the     affected container where supplementary groups are used to set access permissions and is able to execute a     binary code in that container. (CVE-2022-2990)

  - Openshift 4.9 does not use HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) which may allow man-in-the-middle (MITM)     attacks. (CVE-2022-3259)

  - An attacker can cause excessive memory growth in a Go server accepting HTTP/2 requests. HTTP/2 server     connections contain a cache of HTTP header keys sent by the client. While the total number of entries in     this cache is capped, an attacker sending very large keys can cause the server to allocate approximately     64 MiB per open connection. (CVE-2022-41717)

  - A path traversal vulnerability exists in filepath.Clean on Windows. On Windows, the filepath.Clean     function could transform an invalid path such as a/../c:/b into the valid path c:\b. This     transformation of a relative (if invalid) path into an absolute path could enable a directory traversal     attack. After fix, the filepath.Clean function transforms this path into the relative (but still invalid)     path .\c:\b. (CVE-2022-41722)

  - A maliciously crafted HTTP/2 stream could cause excessive CPU consumption in the HPACK decoder, sufficient     to cause a denial of service from a small number of small requests. (CVE-2022-41723)

  - Large handshake records may cause panics in crypto/tls. Both clients and servers may send large TLS     handshake records which cause servers and clients, respectively, to panic when attempting to construct     responses. This affects all TLS 1.3 clients, TLS 1.2 clients which explicitly enable session resumption     (by setting Config.ClientSessionCache to a non-nil value), and TLS 1.3 servers which request client     certificates (by setting Config.ClientAuth >= RequestClientCert). (CVE-2022-41724)

  - A denial of service is possible from excessive resource consumption in net/http and mime/multipart.

This also affects form parsing in the net/http package with the Request methods FormFile,     FormValue, ParseMultipartForm, and PostFormValue.

File parts which cannot     be stored in memory are stored on disk in temporary files. The unconfigurable 10MB reserved for non-file     parts is excessively large and can potentially open a denial of service vector on its own. However,     ReadForm did not properly account for all memory consumed by a parsed form, such as map entry overhead,     part names, and MIME headers, permitting a maliciously crafted form to consume well over 10MB. In     addition, ReadForm contained no limit on the number of disk files created, permitting a relatively small     request body to create a large number of disk temporary files. With fix, ReadForm now properly accounts     for various forms of memory overhead, and should now stay within its documented limit of 10MB + maxMemory     bytes of memory consumption. Users should still be aware that this limit is high and may still be     hazardous. In addition, ReadForm now creates at most one on-disk temporary file, combining multiple form     parts into a single temporary file. The mime/multipart.File interface type's documentation states, If     stored on disk, the File's underlying concrete type will be an *os.File.. This is no longer the case when     a form contains more than one file part, due to this coalescing of parts into a single file. The previous     behavior of using distinct files for each form part may be reenabled with the environment variable     GODEBUG=multipartfiles=distinct. Users should be aware that multipart.ReadForm and the http.Request     methods that call it do not limit the amount of disk consumed by temporary files. Callers can limit the     size of form data with http.MaxBytesReader. (CVE-2022-41725)

  - An uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability was discovered in HAProxy which could crash the     service. This issue could allow an authenticated remote attacker to run a specially crafted malicious     server in an OpenShift cluster. The biggest impact is to availability. (CVE-2023-0056)

  - A flaw was found in github.com/openshift/apiserver-library-go, used in OpenShift 4.12 and 4.11, that     contains an issue that can allow low-privileged users to set the seccomp profile for pods they control to     unconfined. By default, the seccomp profile used in the restricted-v2 Security Context Constraint (SCC)     is runtime/default, allowing users to disable seccomp for pods they can create and modify.
    (CVE-2023-0229)

  - A Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) flaw was found in podman. This issue may allow a malicious user to     replace a normal file in a volume with a symlink while exporting the volume, allowing for access to     arbitrary files on the host file system. (CVE-2023-0778)

  - Werkzeug is a comprehensive WSGI web application library. Prior to version 2.2.3, Werkzeug's multipart     form data parser will parse an unlimited number of parts, including file parts. Parts can be a small     amount of bytes, but each requires CPU time to parse and may use more memory as Python data. If a request     can be made to an endpoint that accesses `request.data`, `request.form`, `request.files`, or     `request.get_data(parse_form_data=False)`, it can cause unexpectedly high resource usage. This allows an     attacker to cause a denial of service by sending crafted multipart data to an endpoint that will parse it.
    The amount of CPU time required can block worker processes from handling legitimate requests. The amount     of RAM required can trigger an out of memory kill of the process. Unlimited file parts can use up memory     and file handles. If many concurrent requests are sent continuously, this can exhaust or kill all     available workers. Version 2.2.3 contains a patch for this issue. (CVE-2023-25577)

  - HAProxy before 2.7.3 may allow a bypass of access control because HTTP/1 headers are inadvertently lost in     some situations, aka request smuggling. The HTTP header parsers in HAProxy may accept empty header field     names, which could be used to truncate the list of HTTP headers and thus make some headers disappear after     being parsed and processed for HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1. For HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, the impact is limited because     the headers disappear before being parsed and processed, as if they had not been sent by the client. The     fixed versions are 2.7.3, 2.6.9, 2.5.12, 2.4.22, 2.2.29, and 2.0.31. (CVE-2023-25725)

    CVE-2022-2989:
    An incorrect handling of the supplementary groups in the Podman container engine might lead to the     sensitive information disclosure or possible data modification if an attacker has direct access to the     affected container where supplementary groups are used to set access permissions and is able to execute a     binary code in that container.

    CVE-2022-3064:
    Parsing malicious or large YAML documents can consume excessive amounts of CPU or memory.

    CVE-2022-41723:
    A maliciously crafted HTTP/2 stream could cause excessive CPU consumption in the HPACK decoder, sufficient     to cause a denial of service from a small number of small requests.

    CVE-2022-41724:

Callers can limit the     size of form data with http.MaxBytesReader.

    CVE-2023-24534:
    HTTP and MIME header parsing can allocate large amounts of memory, even when parsing small inputs,     potentially leading to a denial of service. Certain unusual patterns of input data can cause the common     function used to parse HTTP and MIME headers to allocate substantially more memory than required to hold     the parsed headers. An attacker can exploit this behavior to cause an HTTP server to allocate large     amounts of memory from a small request, potentially leading to memory exhaustion and a denial of service.
    With fix, header parsing now correctly allocates only the memory required to hold parsed headers.

    CVE-2023-24536:
    Multipart form parsing can consume large amounts of CPU and memory when processing form inputs containing     very large numbers of parts. This stems from several causes: 1. mime/multipart.Reader.ReadForm limits the     total memory a parsed multipart form can consume. ReadForm can undercount the amount of memory consumed,     leading it to accept larger inputs than intended. 2. Limiting total memory does not account for increased     pressure on the garbage collector from large numbers of small allocations in forms with many parts. 3.
    ReadForm can allocate a large number of short-lived buffers, further increasing pressure on the garbage     collector. The combination of these factors can permit an attacker to cause an program that parses     multipart forms to consume large amounts of CPU and memory, potentially resulting in a denial of service.
    This affects programs that use mime/multipart.Reader.ReadForm, as well as form parsing in the net/http     package with the Request methods FormFile, FormValue, ParseMultipartForm, and PostFormValue. With fix,     ReadForm now does a better job of estimating the memory consumption of parsed forms, and performs many     fewer short-lived allocations. In addition, the fixed mime/multipart.Reader imposes the following limits     on the size of parsed forms: 1. Forms parsed with ReadForm may contain no more than 1000 parts. This limit     may be adjusted with the environment variable GODEBUG=multipartmaxparts=. 2. Form parts parsed with     NextPart and NextRawPart may contain no more than 10,000 header fields. In addition, forms parsed with     ReadForm may contain no more than 10,000 header fields across all parts. This limit may be adjusted with     the environment variable GODEBUG=multipartmaxheaders=.

    CVE-2023-24537:
    Calling any of the Parse functions on Go source code which contains //line directives with very large line     numbers can cause an infinite loop due to integer overflow.

    CVE-2023-24538:
    Templates do not properly consider backticks (`) as Javascript string delimiters, and do not escape them     as expected. Backticks are used, since ES6, for JS template literals. If a template contains a Go template     action within a Javascript template literal, the contents of the action can be used to terminate the     literal, injecting arbitrary Javascript code into the Go template. As ES6 template literals are rather     complex, and themselves can do string interpolation, the decision was made to simply disallow Go template     actions from being used inside of them (e.g. var a = {{.}}), since there is no obviously safe way to     allow this behavior. This takes the same approach as github.com/google/safehtml. With fix, Template.Parse     returns an Error when it encounters templates like this, with an ErrorCode of value 12. This ErrorCode is     currently unexported, but will be exported in the release of Go 1.21. Users who rely on the previous     behavior can re-enable it using the GODEBUG flag jstmpllitinterp=1, with the caveat that backticks will     now be escaped. This should be used with caution.

    CVE-2023-24539:
    Angle brackets (<>) are not considered dangerous characters when inserted into CSS contexts. Templates     containing multiple actions separated by a '/' character can result in unexpectedly closing the CSS     context and allowing for injection of unexpected HTML, if executed with untrusted input.

    CVE-2023-24540:
    Not all valid JavaScript whitespace characters are considered to be whitespace. Templates containing     whitespace characters outside of the character set \t\n\f\r\u0020\u2028\u2029 in JavaScript contexts     that also contain actions may not be properly sanitized during execution.

    CVE-2023-25173:
    containerd is an open source container runtime. A bug was found in containerd prior to versions 1.6.18 and     1.5.18 where supplementary groups are not set up properly inside a container. If an attacker has direct     access to a container and manipulates their supplementary group access, they may be able to use     supplementary group access to bypass primary group restrictions in some cases, potentially gaining access     to sensitive information or gaining the ability to execute code in that container. Downstream applications     that use the containerd client library may be affected as well.
    This bug has been fixed in containerd v1.6.18 and v.1.5.18. Users should update to these versions and     recreate containers to resolve this issue. Users who rely on a downstream application that uses     containerd's client library should check that application for a separate advisory and instructions. As a     workaround, ensure that the `USER $USERNAME` Dockerfile instruction is not used. Instead, set the     container entrypoint to a value similar to `ENTRYPOINT [su, -, user]` to allow `su` to properly set     up supplementary groups.

    CVE-2023-25809:
    runc is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCI specification. In affected     versions it was found that rootless runc makes `/sys/fs/cgroup` writable in following conditons: 1. when     runc is executed inside the user namespace, and the `config.json` does not specify the cgroup namespace to     be unshared (e.g.., `(docker|podman|nerdctl) run --cgroupns=host`, with Rootless Docker/Podman/nerdctl) or     2. when runc is executed outside the user namespace, and `/sys` is mounted with `rbind, ro` (e.g., `runc     spec --rootless`; this condition is very rare). A container may gain the write access to user-owned cgroup     hierarchy `/sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/...` on the host . Other users's cgroup hierarchies are not affected.
    Users are advised to upgrade to version 1.1.5. Users unable to upgrade may unshare the cgroup namespace     (`(docker|podman|nerdctl) run --cgroupns=private)`. This is the default behavior of Docker/Podman/nerdctl     on cgroup v2 hosts. or add `/sys/fs/cgroup` to `maskedPaths`.

    CVE-2023-27561:
    runc through 1.1.4 has Incorrect Access Control leading to Escalation of Privileges, related to     libcontainer/rootfs_linux.go. To exploit this, an attacker must be able to spawn two containers with     custom volume-mount configurations, and be able to run custom images. NOTE: this issue exists because of a     CVE-2019-19921 regression.

    CVE-2023-28642:
    runc is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers according to the OCI specification. It was found     that AppArmor can be bypassed when `/proc` inside the container is symlinked with a specific mount     configuration. This issue has been fixed in runc version 1.1.5, by prohibiting symlinked `/proc`. See PR     #3785 for details. users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should avoid using an untrusted     container image.

    CVE-2023-29400:
    Templates containing actions in unquoted HTML attributes (e.g. attr={{.}}) executed with empty input can     result in output with unexpected results when parsed due to HTML normalization rules. This may allow     injection of arbitrary attributes into tags.

    CVE-2023-29406:
    The HTTP/1 client does not fully validate the contents of the Host header. A maliciously crafted Host     header can inject additional headers or entire requests. With fix, the HTTP/1 client now refuses to send     requests containing an invalid Request.Host or Request.URL.Host value.

    CVE-2023-3978:
    Text nodes not in the HTML namespace are incorrectly literally rendered, causing text which should be     escaped to not be. This could lead to an XSS attack.

    CVE-2022-1227:
    A privilege escalation flaw was found in Podman. This flaw allows an attacker to publish a malicious image     to a public registry. Once this image is downloaded by a potential victim, the vulnerability is triggered     after a user runs the 'podman top' command. This action gives the attacker access to the host filesystem,     leading to information disclosure or denial of service.

    CVE-2022-21698:
    client_golang is the instrumentation library for Go applications in Prometheus, and the promhttp package     in client_golang provides tooling around HTTP servers and clients. In client_golang prior to version     1.11.1, HTTP server is susceptible to a Denial of Service through unbounded cardinality, and potential     memory exhaustion, when handling requests with non-standard HTTP methods. In order to be affected, an     instrumented software must use any of `promhttp.InstrumentHandler*` middleware except `RequestsInFlight`;
    not filter any specific methods (e.g GET) before middleware; pass metric with `method` label name to our     middleware; and not have any firewall/LB/proxy that filters away requests with unknown `method`.
    client_golang version 1.11.1 contains a patch for this issue. Several workarounds are available, including     removing the `method` label name from counter/gauge used in the InstrumentHandler; turning off affected     promhttp handlers; adding custom middleware before promhttp handler that will sanitize the request method     given by Go http.Request; and using a reverse proxy or web application firewall, configured to only allow     a limited set of methods.

    CVE-2022-27650:
    A flaw was found in crun where containers were incorrectly started with non-empty default permissions. A     vulnerability was found in Moby (Docker Engine) where containers were started incorrectly with non-empty     inheritable Linux process capabilities. This flaw allows an attacker with access to programs with     inheritable file capabilities to elevate those capabilities to the permitted set when execve(2) runs.

    CVE-2024-21626:
    runc is a CLI tool for spawning and running containers on Linux according to the OCI specification. In     runc 1.1.11 and earlier, due to an internal file descriptor leak, an attacker could cause a newly-spawned     container process (from runc exec) to have a working directory in the host filesystem namespace, allowing     for a container escape by giving access to the host filesystem (attack 2). The same attack could be used     by a malicious image to allow a container process to gain access to the host filesystem through runc run     (attack 1). Variants of attacks 1 and 2 could be also be used to overwrite semi-arbitrary host binaries,     allowing for complete container escapes (attack 3a and attack 3b). runc 1.1.12 includes patches for     this issue.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

An update of the go package has been released.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202311-09 (Go: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - 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)

  - Requests forwarded by ReverseProxy include the raw query parameters from the inbound request, including     unparsable parameters rejected by net/http. This could permit query parameter smuggling when a Go proxy     forwards a parameter with an unparsable 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)

  - 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)

  - An attacker can cause excessive memory growth in a Go server accepting HTTP/2 requests. HTTP/2 server     connections contain a cache of HTTP header keys sent by the client. While the total number of entries in     this cache is capped, an attacker sending very large keys can cause the server to allocate approximately     64 MiB per open connection. (CVE-2022-41717)

  - A maliciously crafted HTTP/2 stream could cause excessive CPU consumption in the HPACK decoder, sufficient     to cause a denial of service from a small number of small requests. (CVE-2022-41723)

  - Large handshake records may cause panics in crypto/tls. Both clients and servers may send large TLS     handshake records which cause servers and clients, respectively, to panic when attempting to construct     responses. This affects all TLS 1.3 clients, TLS 1.2 clients which explicitly enable session resumption     (by setting Config.ClientSessionCache to a non-nil value), and TLS 1.3 servers which request client     certificates (by setting Config.ClientAuth >= RequestClientCert). (CVE-2022-41724)

  - A denial of service is possible from excessive resource consumption in net/http and mime/multipart.
    Multipart form parsing with mime/multipart.Reader.ReadForm can consume largely unlimited amounts of memory     and disk files. This also affects form parsing in the net/http package with the Request methods FormFile,     FormValue, ParseMultipartForm, and PostFormValue. ReadForm takes a maxMemory parameter, and is documented     as storing up to maxMemory bytes +10MB (reserved for non-file parts) in memory. File parts which cannot     be stored in memory are stored on disk in temporary files. The unconfigurable 10MB reserved for non-file     parts is excessively large and can potentially open a denial of service vector on its own. However,     ReadForm did not properly account for all memory consumed by a parsed form, such as map entry overhead,     part names, and MIME headers, permitting a maliciously crafted form to consume well over 10MB. In     addition, ReadForm contained no limit on the number of disk files created, permitting a relatively small     request body to create a large number of disk temporary files. With fix, ReadForm now properly accounts     for various forms of memory overhead, and should now stay within its documented limit of 10MB + maxMemory     bytes of memory consumption. Users should still be aware that this limit is high and may still be     hazardous. In addition, ReadForm now creates at most one on-disk temporary file, combining multiple form     parts into a single temporary file. The mime/multipart.File interface type's documentation states, If     stored on disk, the File's underlying concrete type will be an *os.File.. This is no longer the case when     a form contains more than one file part, due to this coalescing of parts into a single file. The previous     behavior of using distinct files for each form part may be reenabled with the environment variable     GODEBUG=multipartfiles=distinct. Users should be aware that multipart.ReadForm and the http.Request     methods that call it do not limit the amount of disk consumed by temporary files. Callers can limit the     size of form data with http.MaxBytesReader. (CVE-2022-41725)

  - HTTP and MIME header parsing can allocate large amounts of memory, even when parsing small inputs,     potentially leading to a denial of service. Certain unusual patterns of input data can cause the common     function used to parse HTTP and MIME headers to allocate substantially more memory than required to hold     the parsed headers. An attacker can exploit this behavior to cause an HTTP server to allocate large     amounts of memory from a small request, potentially leading to memory exhaustion and a denial of service.
    With fix, header parsing now correctly allocates only the memory required to hold parsed headers.
    (CVE-2023-24534)

  - Multipart form parsing can consume large amounts of CPU and memory when processing form inputs containing     very large numbers of parts. This stems from several causes: 1. mime/multipart.Reader.ReadForm limits the     total memory a parsed multipart form can consume. ReadForm can undercount the amount of memory consumed,     leading it to accept larger inputs than intended. 2. Limiting total memory does not account for increased     pressure on the garbage collector from large numbers of small allocations in forms with many parts. 3.
    ReadForm can allocate a large number of short-lived buffers, further increasing pressure on the garbage     collector. The combination of these factors can permit an attacker to cause an program that parses     multipart forms to consume large amounts of CPU and memory, potentially resulting in a denial of service.
    This affects programs that use mime/multipart.Reader.ReadForm, as well as form parsing in the net/http     package with the Request methods FormFile, FormValue, ParseMultipartForm, and PostFormValue. With fix,     ReadForm now does a better job of estimating the memory consumption of parsed forms, and performs many     fewer short-lived allocations. In addition, the fixed mime/multipart.Reader imposes the following limits     on the size of parsed forms: 1. Forms parsed with ReadForm may contain no more than 1000 parts. This limit     may be adjusted with the environment variable GODEBUG=multipartmaxparts=. 2. Form parts parsed with     NextPart and NextRawPart may contain no more than 10,000 header fields. In addition, forms parsed with     ReadForm may contain no more than 10,000 header fields across all parts. This limit may be adjusted with     the environment variable GODEBUG=multipartmaxheaders=. (CVE-2023-24536)

  - Calling any of the Parse functions on Go source code which contains //line directives with very large line     numbers can cause an infinite loop due to integer overflow. (CVE-2023-24537)

  - Templates do not properly consider backticks (`) as Javascript string delimiters, and do not escape them     as expected. Backticks are used, since ES6, for JS template literals. If a template contains a Go template     action within a Javascript template literal, the contents of the action can be used to terminate the     literal, injecting arbitrary Javascript code into the Go template. As ES6 template literals are rather     complex, and themselves can do string interpolation, the decision was made to simply disallow Go template     actions from being used inside of them (e.g. var a = {{.}}), since there is no obviously safe way to     allow this behavior. This takes the same approach as github.com/google/safehtml. With fix, Template.Parse     returns an Error when it encounters templates like this, with an ErrorCode of value 12. This ErrorCode is     currently unexported, but will be exported in the release of Go 1.21. Users who rely on the previous     behavior can re-enable it using the GODEBUG flag jstmpllitinterp=1, with the caveat that backticks will     now be escaped. This should be used with caution. (CVE-2023-24538)

  - 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)

  - On Unix platforms, the Go runtime does not behave differently when a binary is run with the setuid/setgid     bits. This can be dangerous in certain cases, such as when dumping memory state, or assuming the status of     standard i/o file descriptors. If a setuid/setgid binary is executed with standard I/O file descriptors     closed, opening any files can result in unexpected content being read or written with elevated privileges.
    Similarly, if a setuid/setgid program is terminated, either via panic or signal, it may leak the contents     of its registers. (CVE-2023-29403)

  - The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when using cgo. This may occur when running go     get on a malicious module, or when running any other command which builds untrusted code. This is can by     triggered by linker flags, specified via a #cgo LDFLAGS directive. The arguments for a number of flags     which are non-optional are incorrectly considered optional, allowing disallowed flags to be smuggled     through the LDFLAGS sanitization. This affects usage of both the gc and gccgo compilers. (CVE-2023-29404)

  - The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when using cgo. This may occur when running go     get on a malicious module, or when running any other command which builds untrusted code. This is can by     triggered by linker flags, specified via a #cgo LDFLAGS directive. Flags containing embedded spaces are     mishandled, allowing disallowed flags to be smuggled through the LDFLAGS sanitization by including them in     the argument of another flag. This only affects usage of the gccgo compiler. (CVE-2023-29405)

  - The HTTP/1 client does not fully validate the contents of the Host header. A maliciously crafted Host     header can inject additional headers or entire requests. With fix, the HTTP/1 client now refuses to send     requests containing an invalid Request.Host or Request.URL.Host value. (CVE-2023-29406)

  - Extremely large RSA keys in certificate chains can cause a client/server to expend significant CPU time     verifying signatures. With fix, the size of RSA keys transmitted during handshakes is restricted to <=     8192 bits. Based on a survey of publicly trusted RSA keys, there are currently only three certificates in     circulation with keys larger than this, and all three appear to be test certificates that are not actively     deployed. It is possible there are larger keys in use in private PKIs, but we target the web PKI, so     causing breakage here in the interests of increasing the default safety of users of crypto/tls seems     reasonable. (CVE-2023-29409)

  - The html/template package does not properly handle HTML-like  comment tokens, nor hashbang #! comment     tokens, in <script> contexts. This may cause the template parser to improperly interpret the contents of     <script> contexts, causing actions to be improperly escaped. This may be leveraged to perform an XSS     attack. (CVE-2023-39318)

  - The html/template package does not apply the proper rules for handling occurrences of <script, <!--,     and </script within JS literals in <script> contexts. This may cause the template parser to improperly     consider script contexts to be terminated early, causing actions to be improperly escaped. This could be     leveraged to perform an XSS attack. (CVE-2023-39319)

  - The go.mod toolchain directive, introduced in Go 1.21, can be leveraged to execute scripts and binaries     relative to the root of the module when the go command was executed within the module. This applies to     modules downloaded using the go command from the module proxy, as well as modules downloaded directly     using VCS software. (CVE-2023-39320)

  - Processing an incomplete post-handshake message for a QUIC connection can cause a panic. (CVE-2023-39321)

  - QUIC connections do not set an upper bound on the amount of data buffered when reading post-handshake     messages, allowing a malicious QUIC connection to cause unbounded memory growth. With fix, connections now     consistently reject messages larger than 65KiB in size. (CVE-2023-39322)

  - Line directives (//line) can be used to bypass the restrictions on //go:cgo_ directives, allowing     blocked linker and compiler flags to be passed during compilation. This can result in unexpected execution     of arbitrary code when running go build. The line directive requires the absolute path of the file in     which the directive lives, which makes exploiting this issue significantly more complex. (CVE-2023-39323)

  - A malicious HTTP/2 client which rapidly creates requests and immediately resets them can cause excessive     server resource consumption. While the total number of requests is bounded by the     http2.Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting, resetting an in-progress request allows the attacker to create     a new request while the existing one is still executing. With the fix applied, HTTP/2 servers now bound     the number of simultaneously executing handler goroutines to the stream concurrency limit     (MaxConcurrentStreams). New requests arriving when at the limit (which can only happen after the client     has reset an existing, in-flight request) will be queued until a handler exits. If the request queue grows     too large, the server will terminate the connection. This issue is also fixed in golang.org/x/net/http2     for users manually configuring HTTP/2. The default stream concurrency limit is 250 streams (requests) per     HTTP/2 connection. This value may be adjusted using the golang.org/x/net/http2 package; see the     Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting and the ConfigureServer function. (CVE-2023-39325)

  - The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request cancellation     can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023. (CVE-2023-44487)
