go1.20.5 (released 2023-06-06) includes four security fixes to the cmd/go and
runtime packages, as well as bug fixes to the compiler, the go command, the
runtime, and the crypto/rsa, net, and os packages. See the Go 1.20.5 milestone
on our issue tracker for details:

full diff: https://github.com/golang/go/compare/go1.20.4...go1.20.5
These minor releases include 3 security fixes following the security policy:
- cmd/go: cgo code injection
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).
Thanks to Juho Nurminen of Mattermost for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-29402 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/60167.
- runtime: unexpected behavior of setuid/setgid binaries
The Go runtime didn't act any differently when a binary had the setuid/setgid
bit set. On Unix platforms, if a setuid/setgid binary was executed with standard
I/O file descriptors closed, opening any files could result in unexpected
content being read/written with elevated prilieges. Similarly if a setuid/setgid
program was terminated, either via panic or signal, it could leak the contents
of its registers.
Thanks to Vincent Dehors from Synacktiv for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-29403 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/60272.
- cmd/go: improper sanitization of LDFLAGS
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.
Thanks to Juho Nurminen of Mattermost for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-29404 and CVE-2023-29405 and Go issues https://go.dev/issue/60305 and https://go.dev/issue/60306.

go1.20.3 (released 2023-04-04) includes security fixes to the go/parser,
html/template, mime/multipart, net/http, and net/textproto packages, as well
as bug fixes to the compiler, the linker, the runtime, and the time package.

full diff: https://github.com/golang/go/compare/go1.20.2...go1.20.3
Further details from the announcement on the mailing list:
We have just released Go versions 1.20.3 and 1.19.8, minor point releases.
These minor releases include 4 security fixes following the security policy:
- go/parser: infinite loop in parsing
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.
Thanks to Philippe Antoine (Catena cyber) for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-24537 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/59180.
- html/template: backticks not treated as string delimiters
Templates did not properly consider backticks (`) as Javascript string
delimiters, and as such did not escape them as expected. Backticks are
used, since ES6, for JS template literals. If a template contained a Go
template action within a Javascript template literal, the contents of the
action could 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, we've decided 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. Template.Parse will now return an Error when it
encounters templates like this, with a currently unexported ErrorCode with a
value of 12. This ErrorCode will be exported in the next major release.
Users who rely on this 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.
Thanks to Sohom Datta, Manipal Institute of Technology, for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-24538 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/59234.
- net/http, net/textproto: denial of service from excessive memory allocation
HTTP and MIME header parsing could allocate large amounts of memory, even when
parsing small inputs.
Certain unusual patterns of input data could 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.
Header parsing now correctly allocates only the memory required to hold parsed
headers.
Thanks to Jakob Ackermann (@das7pad) for discovering this issue.
This is CVE-2023-24534 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/58975.
- net/http, net/textproto, mime/multipart: denial of service from excessive resource consumption
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:
mime/multipart.Reader.ReadForm limits the total memory a parsed multipart form
can consume. ReadForm could undercount the amount of memory consumed, leading
it to accept larger inputs than intended. Limiting total memory does not
account for increased pressure on the garbage collector from large numbers of
small allocations in forms with many parts. ReadForm could 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.
ReadForm now does a better job of estimating the memory consumption of parsed
forms, and performs many fewer short-lived allocations.
In addition, mime/multipart.Reader now imposes the following limits on the
size of parsed forms:
Forms parsed with ReadForm may contain no more than 1000 parts. This limit may
be adjusted with the environment variable GODEBUG=multipartmaxparts=. 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=.
Thanks to Jakob Ackermann for discovering this issue.
This is CVE-2023-24536 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/59153.

Includes security fixes for net/http (CVE-2022-41717, CVE-2022-41720),
and os (CVE-2022-41720).
These minor releases include 2 security fixes following the security policy:
- os, net/http: avoid escapes from os.DirFS and http.Dir on Windows
The os.DirFS function and http.Dir type provide access to a tree of files
rooted at a given directory. These functions permitted access to Windows
device files under that root. For example, os.DirFS("C:/tmp").Open("COM1")
would open the COM1 device.
Both os.DirFS and http.Dir only provide read-only filesystem access.
In addition, on Windows, an os.DirFS for the directory \(the root of the
current drive) can permit a maliciously crafted path to escape from the
drive and access any path on the system.
The behavior of os.DirFS("") has changed. Previously, an empty root was
treated equivalently to "/", so os.DirFS("").Open("tmp") would open the
path "/tmp". This now returns an error.
This is CVE-2022-41720 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/56694.
- net/http: limit canonical header cache by bytes, not entries
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.
This issue is also fixed in golang.org/x/net/http2 vX.Y.Z, for users
manually configuring HTTP/2.
Thanks to Josselin Costanzi for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2022-41717 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/56350.

On Windows, syscall.StartProcess and os/exec.Cmd did not properly
check for invalid environment variable values. A malicious
environment variable value could exploit this behavior to set a
value for a different environment variable. For example, the
environment variable string "A=B\x00C=D" set the variables "A=B" and
"C=D".

issue.
This is CVE-2022-41716 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/56284.
This Go release also fixes https://github.com/golang/go/issues/56309, a
runtime bug which can cause random memory corruption when a goroutine
exits with runtime.LockOSThread() set. This fix is necessary to unblock
work to replace certain uses of pkg/reexec with unshared OS threads.

From the mailing list:
We have just released Go versions 1.19.2 and 1.18.7, minor point releases.
These minor releases include 3 security fixes following the security policy:
- archive/tar: unbounded memory consumption when reading headers
Reader.Read did 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.
Reader.Read now limits the maximum size of header blocks to 1 MiB.
Thanks to Adam Korczynski (ADA Logics) and OSS-Fuzz for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2022-2879 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/54853.
- net/http/httputil: ReverseProxy should not forward unparseable query parameters
Requests forwarded by ReverseProxy included 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.
ReverseProxy will now sanitize 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.
Thanks to Gal Goldstein (Security Researcher, Oxeye) and
Daniel Abeles (Head of Research, Oxeye) for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2022-2880 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/54663.
- regexp/syntax: limit memory used by parsing regexps
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.
Each regexp being parsed is now limited to a 256 MB memory footprint.
Regular expressions whose representation would use more space than that
are now rejected. Normal use of regular expressions is unaffected.

We have just released Go versions 1.18.4 and 1.17.12, minor point releases. These
minor releases include 9 security fixes following the security policy:
- net/http: improper sanitization of Transfer-Encoding header
The HTTP/1 client accepted some invalid Transfer-Encoding headers as indicating
a "chunked" encoding. This could potentially allow for request smuggling, but
only if combined with an intermediate server that also improperly failed to
reject the header as invalid.
This is CVE-2022-1705 and https://go.dev/issue/53188.
- When `httputil.ReverseProxy.ServeHTTP` was called with a `Request.Header` map
containing a nil value for the X-Forwarded-For header, ReverseProxy would set
the client IP as the value of the X-Forwarded-For header, contrary to its
documentation. In the more usual case where a Director function set the
X-Forwarded-For header value to nil, ReverseProxy would leave the header
unmodified as expected.
This is https://go.dev/issue/53423 and CVE-2022-32148.
Thanks to Christian Mehlmauer for reporting this issue.
- compress/gzip: stack exhaustion in Reader.Read
