Log message:
Update Go to 1.9.1 (security fix).
Two security-related issues were recently reported.
To address this issue, we have just released Go 1.8.4 and Go 1.9.1.
We recommend that all users update to one of these releases (if you're
not sure
which, choose Go 1.9.1).
The issues addressed by these releases are:
By nesting a git checkout inside another version control repository, it was
possible for an attacker to trick the "go get" command into executing
arbitrary
code. The go command now refuses to use version control checkouts found
inside
other version control systems, with an exception for git submodules (git
inside
git).
The issue is tracked as https://golang.org/issue/22125 (Go 1.8.4) and
https://golang.org/issue/22131 (Go 1.9.1). Fixes are linked from the issues.
Thanks to Simon Rawet for the report.
In the smtp package, PlainAuth is documented as sending credentials only
over
authenticated, encrypted TLS connections, but it was changed in Go 1.1
to also
send credentials on non-TLS connections when the remote server
advertises that
PLAIN authentication is supported. The change was meant to allow use of
PLAIN
authentication on localhost, but it has the effect of allowing a
man-in-the-middle attacker to harvest credentials. PlainAuth now requires
either TLS or a localhost connection before sending credentials,
regardless of
what the remote server claims.
This issue is tracked as https://golang.org/issue/22134 (Go 1.8.4) and
https://golang.org/issue/22133 (Go 1.9.1). Fixes are linked from the issues.
Thanks to Stevie Johnstone for the report.
