go1.21.9 (released 2024-04-03) includes a security fix to the net/http
package, as well as bug fixes to the linker, and the go/types and
net/http packages. See the [Go 1.21.9 milestone](https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=milestone%3AGo1.21.9+label%3ACherryPickApproved)
for more details.
These minor releases include 1 security fixes following the security policy:
- http2: close connections when receiving too many headers
Maintaining HPACK state requires that we parse and process all HEADERS
and CONTINUATION frames on a connection. When a request's headers exceed
MaxHeaderBytes, we don't allocate memory to store the excess headers but
we do parse them. This permits an attacker to cause an HTTP/2 endpoint
to read arbitrary amounts of header data, all associated with a request
which is going to be rejected. These headers can include Huffman-encoded
data which is significantly more expensive for the receiver to decode
than for an attacker to send.
Set a limit on the amount of excess header frames we will process before
closing a connection.

[security] Go 1.21.5 and Go 1.20.12 are released
Hello gophers,
We have just released Go versions 1.21.5 and 1.20.12, minor point releases.
These minor releases include 3 security fixes following the security policy:
- net/http: limit chunked data overhead
A malicious HTTP sender can use chunk extensions to cause a receiver
reading from a request or response body to read many more bytes from
the network than are in the body.
A malicious HTTP client can further exploit this to cause a server to
automatically read a large amount of data (up to about 1GiB) when a
handler fails to read the entire body of a request.
Chunk extensions are a little-used HTTP feature which permit including
additional metadata in a request or response body sent using the chunked
encoding. The net/http chunked encoding reader discards this metadata.
A sender can exploit this by inserting a large metadata segment with
each byte transferred. The chunk reader now produces an error if the
ratio of real body to encoded bytes grows too small.
Thanks to Bartek Nowotarski for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-39326 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/64433.
- cmd/go: go get may unexpectedly fallback to insecure git
Using go get to fetch a module with the ".git" suffix may unexpectedly
fallback to the insecure "git://" protocol if the module is unavailable
via the secure "https://" and "git+ssh://" protocols, even if GOINSECURE
is not set for said module. This only affects users who are not using
the module proxy and are fetching modules directly (i.e. GOPROXY=off).
Thanks to David Leadbeater for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-45285 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/63845.
- path/filepath: retain trailing \ when cleaning paths like \\?\c:\
Go 1.20.11 and Go 1.21.4 inadvertently changed the definition of the
volume name in Windows paths starting with \\?\, resulting in
filepath.Clean(\\?\c:\) returning \\?\c: rather than \\?\c:\ (among

[security] Go 1.21.4 and Go 1.20.11 are released
Hello gophers,
We have just released Go versions 1.21.4 and 1.20.11, minor point releases.
These minor releases include 2 security fixes following the security policy:
- path/filepath: recognize `\??\` as a Root Local Device path prefix.
On Windows, a path beginning with `\??\` is a Root Local Device path equivalent
to a path beginning with `\\?\`. Paths with a `\??\` prefix may be used to
access arbitrary locations on the system. For example, the path `\??\c:\x`
is equivalent to the more common path c:\x.
The filepath package did not recognize paths with a `\??\` prefix as special.
Clean could convert a rooted path such as `\a\..\??\b` into
the root local device path `\??\b`. It will now convert this
path into `.\??\b`.
`IsAbs` did not report paths beginning with `\??\` as absolute.
It now does so.
VolumeName now reports the `\??\` prefix as a volume name.
`Join(`\`, `??`, `b`)` could convert a seemingly innocent
sequence of path elements into the root local device path
`\??\b`. It will now convert this to `\.\??\b`.
This is CVE-2023-45283 and https://go.dev/issue/63713.
- path/filepath: recognize device names with trailing spaces and superscripts
The `IsLocal` function did not correctly detect reserved names in some cases:
- reserved names followed by spaces, such as "COM1 ".
- "COM" or "LPT" followed by a superscript 1, 2, or 3.
`IsLocal` now correctly reports these names as non-local.
This is CVE-2023-45284 and https://go.dev/issue/63713.

[security] Go 1.21.3 and Go 1.20.10 are released
Hello gophers,
We have just released Go versions 1.21.3 and 1.20.10, minor point releases.
These minor releases include 1 security fixes following the security policy:
- net/http: rapid stream resets can cause excessive work
A malicious HTTP/2 client which rapidly creates requests and
immediately resets them can cause excessive server resource consumption.
While the total number of requests is bounded to the
http2.Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting, resetting an in-progress
request allows the attacker to create a new request while the existing
one is still executing.
HTTP/2 servers now bound the number of simultaneously executing
handler goroutines to the stream concurrency limit. New requests
arriving when at the limit (which can only happen after the client
has reset an existing, in-flight request) will be queued until a
handler exits. If the request queue grows too large, the server
will terminate the connection.
This issue is also fixed in golang.org/x/net/http2 v0.17.0,
for users manually configuring HTTP/2.
The default stream concurrency limit is 250 streams (requests)
per HTTP/2 connection. This value may be adjusted using the
golang.org/x/net/http2 package; see the Server.MaxConcurrentStreams
setting and the ConfigureServer function.
This is CVE-2023-39325 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/63417.

- cmd/go: go.mod toolchain directive allows arbitrary execution
The go.mod toolchain directive, introduced in Go 1.21, could be leveraged to

The html/template package did not properly handle HMTL-like "<!--" and "-->"
comment tokens, nor hashbang "#!" comment tokens, in <script> contexts. This may
cause the template parser to improperly interpret the contents of <script>

[security] Go 1.20.7 and Go 1.19.12 are released
Hello gophers,
We have just released Go versions 1.20.7 and 1.19.12, minor point releases.
These minor releases include 1 security fixes following the security policy:
- crypto/tls: restrict RSA keys in certificates to <= 8192 bits
Extremely large RSA keys in certificate chains can cause a client/server
to expend significant CPU time verifying signatures. Limit this by
restricting the size of RSA keys transmitted during handshakes to <=
8192 bits.
Based on a survey of publicly trusted RSA keys, there are currently only
three certificates in circulation with keys larger than this, and all
three appear to be test certificates that are not actively deployed. It
is possible there are larger keys in use in private PKIs, but we target
the web PKI, so causing breakage here in the interests of increasing the
default safety of users of crypto/tls seems reasonable.

Further details from the announcement on the mailing list:
We have just released Go versions 1.20.3 and 1.19.8, minor point releases.
These minor releases include 4 security fixes following the security policy:
- go/parser: infinite loop in parsing
Calling any of the Parse functions on Go source code which contains `//line`
directives with very large line numbers can cause an infinite loop due to
integer overflow.
Thanks to Philippe Antoine (Catena cyber) for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-24537 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/59180.
- html/template: backticks not treated as string delimiters
Templates did not properly consider backticks (`) as Javascript string
delimiters, and as such did not escape them as expected. Backticks are
used, since ES6, for JS template literals. If a template contained a Go
template action within a Javascript template literal, the contents of the
action could be used to terminate the literal, injecting arbitrary Javascript
code into the Go template.
As ES6 template literals are rather complex, and themselves can do string
interpolation, we've decided to simply disallow Go template actions from being
used inside of them (e.g. "var a = {{.}}"), since there is no obviously safe
way to allow this behavior. This takes the same approach as
github.com/google/safehtml. Template.Parse will now return an Error when it
encounters templates like this, with a currently unexported ErrorCode with a
value of 12. This ErrorCode will be exported in the next major release.
Users who rely on this behavior can re-enable it using the GODEBUG flag
jstmpllitinterp=1, with the caveat that backticks will now be escaped. This
should be used with caution.
Thanks to Sohom Datta, Manipal Institute of Technology, for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-24538 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/59234.
- net/http, net/textproto: denial of service from excessive memory allocation
HTTP and MIME header parsing could allocate large amounts of memory, even when
parsing small inputs.
Certain unusual patterns of input data could cause the common function used to
parse HTTP and MIME headers to allocate substantially more memory than
required to hold the parsed headers. An attacker can exploit this behavior to
cause an HTTP server to allocate large amounts of memory from a small request,
potentially leading to memory exhaustion and a denial of service.
Header parsing now correctly allocates only the memory required to hold parsed
headers.
Thanks to Jakob Ackermann (@das7pad) for discovering this issue.
This is CVE-2023-24534 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/58975.
- net/http, net/textproto, mime/multipart: denial of service from excessive resource consumption
Multipart form parsing can consume large amounts of CPU and memory when
processing form inputs containing very large numbers of parts. This stems from
several causes:
mime/multipart.Reader.ReadForm limits the total memory a parsed multipart form
can consume. ReadForm could undercount the amount of memory consumed, leading
it to accept larger inputs than intended. Limiting total memory does not
account for increased pressure on the garbage collector from large numbers of
small allocations in forms with many parts. ReadForm could allocate a large
number of short-lived buffers, further increasing pressure on the garbage
collector. The combination of these factors can permit an attacker to cause an
program that parses multipart forms to consume large amounts of CPU and
memory, potentially resulting in a denial of service. This affects programs
that use mime/multipart.Reader.ReadForm, as well as form parsing in the
net/http package with the Request methods FormFile, FormValue,
ParseMultipartForm, and PostFormValue.
ReadForm now does a better job of estimating the memory consumption of parsed
forms, and performs many fewer short-lived allocations.
In addition, mime/multipart.Reader now imposes the following limits on the
size of parsed forms:
Forms parsed with ReadForm may contain no more than 1000 parts. This limit may
be adjusted with the environment variable GODEBUG=multipartmaxparts=. Form
parts parsed with NextPart and NextRawPart may contain no more than 10,000
header fields. In addition, forms parsed with ReadForm may contain no more
than 10,000 header fields across all parts. This limit may be adjusted with
the environment variable GODEBUG=multipartmaxheaders=.

We have just released Go versions 1.20.1 and 1.19.6, minor point releases.
These minor releases include 4 security fixes following the security policy:
- path/filepath: path traversal in filepath.Clean on Windows
On Windows, the filepath.Clean function could transform an invalid path such
as a/../c:/b into the valid path c:\b. This transformation of a relative (if
invalid) path into an absolute path could enable a directory traversal attack.
The filepath.Clean function will now transform this path into the relative
(but still invalid) path .\c:\b.
This is CVE-2022-41722 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/57274.
- net/http, mime/multipart: denial of service from excessive resource
consumption
Multipart form parsing with mime/multipart.Reader.ReadForm can consume largely
unlimited amounts of memory and disk files. This also affects form parsing in
the net/http package with the Request methods FormFile, FormValue,
ParseMultipartForm, and PostFormValue.
ReadForm takes a maxMemory parameter, and is documented as storing "up to
maxMemory bytes +10MB (reserved for non-file parts) in memory". File parts
which cannot be stored in memory are stored on disk in temporary files. The
unconfigurable 10MB reserved for non-file parts is excessively large and can
potentially open a denial of service vector on its own. However, ReadForm did
not properly account for all memory consumed by a parsed form, such as map
ntry overhead, part names, and MIME headers, permitting a maliciously crafted
form to consume well over 10MB. In addition, ReadForm contained no limit on
the number of disk files created, permitting a relatively small request body
to create a large number of disk temporary files.
ReadForm now properly accounts for various forms of memory overhead, and
should now stay within its documented limit of 10MB + maxMemory bytes of
memory consumption. Users should still be aware that this limit is high and
may still be hazardous.
ReadForm now creates at most one on-disk temporary file, combining multiple
form parts into a single temporary file. The mime/multipart.File interface
type's documentation states, "If stored on disk, the File's underlying
concrete type will be an *os.File.". This is no longer the case when a form
contains more than one file part, due to this coalescing of parts into a
single file. The previous behavior of using distinct files for each form part
may be reenabled with the environment variable
GODEBUG=multipartfiles=distinct.
Users should be aware that multipart.ReadForm and the http.Request methods
that call it do not limit the amount of disk consumed by temporary files.
Callers can limit the size of form data with http.MaxBytesReader.
This is CVE-2022-41725 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/58006.
- crypto/tls: large handshake records may cause panics
Both clients and servers may send large TLS handshake records which cause
servers and clients, respectively, to panic when attempting to construct
responses.
This affects all TLS 1.3 clients, TLS 1.2 clients which explicitly enable
session resumption (by setting Config.ClientSessionCache to a non-nil value),
and TLS 1.3 servers which request client certificates (by setting
Config.ClientAuth
> = RequestClientCert).
This is CVE-2022-41724 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/58001.
- net/http: avoid quadratic complexity in HPACK decoding
A maliciously crafted HTTP/2 stream could cause excessive CPU consumption
in the HPACK decoder, sufficient to cause a denial of service from a small
number of small requests.
This issue is also fixed in golang.org/x/net/http2 v0.7.0, for users manually
configuring HTTP/2.
This is CVE-2022-41723 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/57855.
Signed-off-by: Sebastiaan van Stijn <github@gone.nl>
Includes security fixes for net/http (CVE-2022-41717, CVE-2022-41720),
and os (CVE-2022-41720).
These minor releases include 2 security fixes following the security policy:
- os, net/http: avoid escapes from os.DirFS and http.Dir on Windows
The os.DirFS function and http.Dir type provide access to a tree of files
rooted at a given directory. These functions permitted access to Windows
device files under that root. For example, os.DirFS("C:/tmp").Open("COM1")
would open the COM1 device.
Both os.DirFS and http.Dir only provide read-only filesystem access.
In addition, on Windows, an os.DirFS for the directory \(the root of the
current drive) can permit a maliciously crafted path to escape from the
drive and access any path on the system.
The behavior of os.DirFS("") has changed. Previously, an empty root was
treated equivalently to "/", so os.DirFS("").Open("tmp") would open the
path "/tmp". This now returns an error.
This is CVE-2022-41720 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/56694.
- net/http: limit canonical header cache by bytes, not entries
An attacker can cause excessive memory growth in a Go server accepting
HTTP/2 requests.
HTTP/2 server connections contain a cache of HTTP header keys sent by
the client. While the total number of entries in this cache is capped,
an attacker sending very large keys can cause the server to allocate
approximately 64 MiB per open connection.
This issue is also fixed in golang.org/x/net/http2 vX.Y.Z, for users
manually configuring HTTP/2.
Thanks to Josselin Costanzi for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2022-41717 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/56350.

On Windows, syscall.StartProcess and os/exec.Cmd did not properly
check for invalid environment variable values. A malicious
environment variable value could exploit this behavior to set a
value for a different environment variable. For example, the
environment variable string "A=B\x00C=D" set the variables "A=B" and
"C=D".
Thanks to RyotaK (https://twitter.com/ryotkak) for reporting this
issue.
This is CVE-2022-41716 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/56284.
This Go release also fixes https://github.com/golang/go/issues/56309, a
runtime bug which can cause random memory corruption when a goroutine
exits with runtime.LockOSThread() set. This fix is necessary to unblock
work to replace certain uses of pkg/reexec with unshared OS threads.

From the mailing list:
We have just released Go versions 1.19.2 and 1.18.7, minor point releases.
These minor releases include 3 security fixes following the security policy:
- archive/tar: unbounded memory consumption when reading headers
Reader.Read did not set a limit on the maximum size of file headers.
A maliciously crafted archive could cause Read to allocate unbounded
amounts of memory, potentially causing resource exhaustion or panics.
Reader.Read now limits the maximum size of header blocks to 1 MiB.
Thanks to Adam Korczynski (ADA Logics) and OSS-Fuzz for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2022-2879 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/54853.
- net/http/httputil: ReverseProxy should not forward unparseable query parameters
Requests forwarded by ReverseProxy included the raw query parameters from the
inbound request, including unparseable parameters rejected by net/http. This
could permit query parameter smuggling when a Go proxy forwards a parameter
with an unparseable value.
ReverseProxy will now sanitize the query parameters in the forwarded query
when the outbound request's Form field is set after the ReverseProxy.Director
function returns, indicating that the proxy has parsed the query parameters.
Proxies which do not parse query parameters continue to forward the original
query parameters unchanged.
Thanks to Gal Goldstein (Security Researcher, Oxeye) and
Daniel Abeles (Head of Research, Oxeye) for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2022-2880 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/54663.
- regexp/syntax: limit memory used by parsing regexps
The parsed regexp representation is linear in the size of the input,
but in some cases the constant factor can be as high as 40,000,
making relatively small regexps consume much larger amounts of memory.
Each regexp being parsed is now limited to a 256 MB memory footprint.
Regular expressions whose representation would use more space than that
are now rejected. Normal use of regular expressions is unaffected.

We have just released Go versions 1.19.1 and 1.18.6, minor point releases.
These minor releases include 2 security fixes following the security policy:
- net/http: handle server errors after sending GOAWAY
A closing HTTP/2 server connection could hang forever waiting for a clean
shutdown that was preempted by a subsequent fatal error. This failure mode
could be exploited to cause a denial of service.
Thanks to Bahruz Jabiyev, Tommaso Innocenti, Anthony Gavazzi, Steven Sprecher,
and Kaan Onarlioglu for reporting this.
This is CVE-2022-27664 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/54658.
- net/url: JoinPath does not strip relative path components in all circumstances
JoinPath and URL.JoinPath would not remove `../` path components appended to a
relative path. For example, `JoinPath("https://go.dev", "../go")` returned the
URL `https://go.dev/../go`, despite the JoinPath documentation stating that
`../` path elements are cleaned from the result.

We have just released Go versions 1.18.4 and 1.17.12, minor point releases. These
minor releases include 9 security fixes following the security policy:
- net/http: improper sanitization of Transfer-Encoding header
The HTTP/1 client accepted some invalid Transfer-Encoding headers as indicating
a "chunked" encoding. This could potentially allow for request smuggling, but
only if combined with an intermediate server that also improperly failed to
reject the header as invalid.
This is CVE-2022-1705 and https://go.dev/issue/53188.
- When `httputil.ReverseProxy.ServeHTTP` was called with a `Request.Header` map
containing a nil value for the X-Forwarded-For header, ReverseProxy would set
the client IP as the value of the X-Forwarded-For header, contrary to its
documentation. In the more usual case where a Director function set the
X-Forwarded-For header value to nil, ReverseProxy would leave the header
unmodified as expected.
This is https://go.dev/issue/53423 and CVE-2022-32148.
Thanks to Christian Mehlmauer for reporting this issue.
- compress/gzip: stack exhaustion in Reader.Read
Calling Reader.Read on an archive containing a large number of concatenated
0-length compressed files can cause a panic due to stack exhaustion.
This is CVE-2022-30631 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/53168.
- encoding/xml: stack exhaustion in Unmarshal
Calling Unmarshal on a XML document into a Go struct which has a nested field
that uses the any field tag can cause a panic due to stack exhaustion.
This is CVE-2022-30633 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/53611.
- encoding/xml: stack exhaustion in Decoder.Skip
Calling Decoder.Skip when parsing a deeply nested XML document can cause a
