Amazon Linux AMI Security Advisory: ALAS-2018-975
Advisory Release Date: 2018-03-21 22:13 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2018-04-19 22:38 Pacific
Severity:
Medium
Issue Overview:
Arbitrary code execution during "go get" via C compiler options:
An arbitrary command execution flaw was found in the way Go's "go get" command handled gcc and clang sensitive options during the build. A remote attacker capable of hosting malicious repositories could potentially use this flaw to cause arbitrary command execution on the client side. (CVE-2018-6574)
The "go get" implementation in Go 1.9.4, when the -insecure command-line option is used, does not validate the import path (get/vcs.go only checks for "://" anywhere in the string), which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via a crafted web site. (CVE-2018-7187)
