Hello gophers,
We have just released Go versions 1.18.3 and 1.17.11, minor point releases.
These minor releases include 4 security fixes following the security policy:
- crypto/rand: rand.Read hangs with extremely large buffers
On Windows, rand.Read will hang indefinitely if passed a buffer larger than
1 << 32 - 1 bytes.
Thanks to Davis Goodin and Quim Muntal, working at Microsoft on the Go toolset,
for reporting this issue.
This is [CVE-2022-30634][CVE-2022-30634] and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/52561.
- crypto/tls: session tickets lack random ticket_age_add
Session tickets generated by crypto/tls did not contain a randomly generated
ticket_age_add. This allows an attacker that can observe TLS handshakes to
correlate successive connections by comparing ticket ages during session
resumption.
Thanks to GitHub user nervuri for reporting this.
This is [CVE-2022-30629][CVE-2022-30629] and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/52814.
- `os/exec`: empty `Cmd.Path` can result in running unintended binary on Windows
If, on Windows, `Cmd.Run`, `cmd.Start`, `cmd.Output`, or `cmd.CombinedOutput`
are executed when Cmd.Path is unset and, in the working directory, there are
binaries named either "..com" or "..exe", they will be executed.
Thanks to Chris Darroch, brian m. carlson, and Mikhail Shcherbakov for reporting
this.
This is [CVE-2022-30580][CVE-2022-30580] and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/52574.
- `path/filepath`: Clean(`.\c:`) returns `c:` on Windows
On Windows, the `filepath.Clean` function could convert an invalid path to a
valid, absolute path. For example, Clean(`.\c:`) returned `c:`.
Thanks to Unrud for reporting this issue.
