Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-08-07 22:36:57 UTC
CVE-2021-29923:

Go before 1.17 does not properly consider extraneous zero characters at the beginning of an IP address octet, which (in some situations) allows attackers to bypass access control that is based on IP addresses, because of unexpected octal interpretation. This affects net.ParseIP and net.ParseCIDR.


Upstream apparently considers this unbackportable.
Comment 1 William Hubbs gentoo-dev 2021-08-17 01:13:04 UTC
I have added go 1.17 to the tree.

Please advise me wrt what to do with the older versions.

Thanks,

William

I guess we're blocked here until we can stabilize 1.17 and remove the older versions.
Comment 3 John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-08-29 00:20:59 UTC
Please cleanup

    dev-lang/go: drop 1.16.x
    
    Normally we keep the two most recent versions of Go in the tree, but
    that is not the case this time because upstream is not backporting the
    fix for this vulnerability.
