Hello gophers,
We have just released Go versions 1.18.3 and 1.17.11, minor point releases.
These minor releases include 4 security fixes following the security policy:
- crypto/rand: rand.Read hangs with extremely large buffers
On Windows, rand.Read will hang indefinitely if passed a buffer larger than
1 << 32 - 1 bytes.
Thanks to Davis Goodin and Quim Muntal, working at Microsoft on the Go toolset,
for reporting this issue.
This is [CVE-2022-30634][CVE-2022-30634] and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/52561.
- crypto/tls: session tickets lack random ticket_age_add
Session tickets generated by crypto/tls did not contain a randomly generated
ticket_age_add. This allows an attacker that can observe TLS handshakes to
correlate successive connections by comparing ticket ages during session
resumption.
Thanks to GitHub user nervuri for reporting this.
This is [CVE-2022-30629][CVE-2022-30629] and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/52814.
- `os/exec`: empty `Cmd.Path` can result in running unintended binary on Windows
If, on Windows, `Cmd.Run`, `cmd.Start`, `cmd.Output`, or `cmd.CombinedOutput`
are executed when Cmd.Path is unset and, in the working directory, there are
binaries named either "..com" or "..exe", they will be executed.
Thanks to Chris Darroch, brian m. carlson, and Mikhail Shcherbakov for reporting
this.
This is [CVE-2022-30580][CVE-2022-30580] and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/52574.
- `path/filepath`: Clean(`.\c:`) returns `c:` on Windows
On Windows, the `filepath.Clean` function could convert an invalid path to a
valid, absolute path. For example, Clean(`.\c:`) returned `c:`.
Thanks to Unrud for reporting this issue.
This is [CVE-2022-29804][CVE-2022-29804] and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/52476.

The io/ioutil package has been deprecated as of Go 1.16, see
https://golang.org/doc/go1.16#ioutil. This commit replaces the existing
io/ioutil functions with their new definitions in io and os packages.

Go 1.15.7 contained a security fix for CVE-2021-3115, which allowed arbitrary
code to be executed at build time when using cgo on Windows. This issue also
affects Unix users who have “.” listed explicitly in their PATH and are running
“go get” outside of a module or with module mode disabled.
This issue is not limited to the go command itself, and can also affect binaries
that use `os.Command`, `os.LookPath`, etc.
From the related blogpost (ttps://blog.golang.org/path-security):
> Are your own programs affected?
>
> If you use exec.LookPath or exec.Command in your own programs, you only need to
> be concerned if you (or your users) run your program in a directory with untrusted
> contents. If so, then a subprocess could be started using an executable from dot
> instead of from a system directory. (Again, using an executable from dot happens
> always on Windows and only with uncommon PATH settings on Unix.)
>
> If you are concerned, then we’ve published the more restricted variant of os/exec
> as golang.org/x/sys/execabs. You can use it in your program by simply replacing
This patch replaces all uses of `os/exec` with `golang.org/x/sys/execabs`. While
some uses of `os/exec` should not be problematic (e.g. part of tests), it is
probably good to be consistent, in case code gets moved around.
