Log Message:
go119: update to 1.19.8 (security)
This minor release includes 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.

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=. Thanks to Jakob
Ackermann (@das7pad) for discovering this issue.
This is CVE-2023-24536 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/59153.
