Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6574-1
Ubuntu Security Notice 6574-1 - Takeshi Kaneko discovered that Go did not properly handle comments and special tags in the script context of html/template module. An attacker could possibly use this issue to inject Javascript code and perform a cross site scripting attack. This issue only affected Go 1.20 in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 23.04. It was discovered that Go did not properly validate the “//go:cgo_” directives during compilation. An attacker could possibly use this issue to inject arbitrary code during compile time.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6574-1
January 11, 2024
Go vulnerabilities
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 23.10
- Ubuntu 23.04
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in Go.
Software Description:
- golang-1.20: Go programming language compiler
- golang-1.21: Go programming language compiler
Details:
Takeshi Kaneko discovered that Go did not properly handle comments and
special tags in the script context of html/template module. An attacker
could possibly use this issue to inject Javascript code and perform a cross
site scripting attack. This issue only affected Go 1.20 in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS,
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 23.04. (CVE-2023-39318, CVE-2023-39319)
It was discovered that Go did not properly validate the “//go:cgo_”
directives during compilation. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
inject arbitrary code during compile time. (CVE-2023-39323)
It was discovered that Go did not limit the number of simultaneously
executing handler goroutines in the net/http module. An attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause a panic resulting into a denial of service.
(CVE-2023-39325, CVE-2023-44487)
It was discovered that the Go net/http module did not properly validate the
chunk extensions reading from a request or response body. An attacker could
possibly use this issue to read sensitive information. (CVE-2023-39326)
It was discovered that Go did not properly validate the insecure “git://”
protocol when using go get to fetch a module with the “.git” suffix. An
attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass secure protocol checks.
(CVE-2023-45285)

Using go get to fetch a module with the ".git" suffix may unexpectedly fallback to the insecure "git://" protocol if the module is unavailable via the secure "https://" and "git+ssh://" protocols, even if GOINSECURE is not set for said module. This only affects users who are not using the module proxy and are fetching modules directly (i.e. GOPROXY=off).
A malicious HTTP sender can use chunk extensions to cause a receiver reading from a request or response body to read many more bytes from the network than are in the body. A malicious HTTP client can further exploit this to cause a server to automatically read a large amount of data (up to about 1GiB) when a handler fails to read the entire body of a request. Chunk extensions are a little-used HTTP feature which permit including additional metadata in a request or response body sent using the chunked encoding. The net/http chunked encoding reader discards this metadata. A sender can exploit this by inserting a large metadata segment with each byte transferred. The chunk reader now produces an error if the ratio of real body to encoded bytes grows too small.

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.
