{"id":"BIT-golang-2023-29404","summary":"Improper handling of non-optional LDFLAGS in go command with cgo in cmd/go","details":"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.","aliases":["CVE-2023-29404","GO-2023-1841"],"modified":"2025-05-20T10:02:07.006Z","published":"2024-03-06T10:55:27.675Z","database_specific":{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:golang:go:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"severity":"Critical"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://go.dev/cl/501225"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://go.dev/issue/60305"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://groups.google.com/g/golang-announce/c/q5135a9d924/m/j0ZoAJOHAwAJ"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/NZ2O6YCO2IZMZJELQGZYR2WAUNEDLYV6/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/XBS3IIK6ADV24C5ULQU55QLT2UE762ZX/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://pkg.go.dev/vuln/GO-2023-1841"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202311-09"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20241115-0009/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-29404"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"golang","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/golang"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.19.10"},{"introduced":"1.20.0"},{"fixed":"1.20.5"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/golang/BIT-golang-2023-29404.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}],"schema_version":"1.7.3"}
