Oracle Linux: CVE-2023-29404: ELSA-2023-3923: go-toolset and golang security update (CRITICAL) (Multiple Advisories)

Description

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. A flaw was found in golang. The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when using cgo.
