The Go project reports:

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.

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.

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.

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=.

The Go project reports:

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.

net/http: insufficient sanitization of Host header

The HTTP/1 client did not fully validate the contents of the Host header. A maliciously crafted Host header could inject additional headers or entire requests. The HTTP/1 client now refuses to send requests containing an invalid Request.Host or Request.URL.Host value.

cmd/go: cgo code injection

The go command may generate unexpected code at build time when using cgo. This may result in unexpected behavior when running a go program which uses cgo.

runtime: unexpected behavior of setuid/setgid binaries

The Go runtime didn't act any differently when a binary had the setuid/setgid bit set. On Unix platforms, if a setuid/setgid binary was executed with standard I/O file descriptors closed, opening any files could result in unexpected content being read/written with elevated prilieges. Similarly if a setuid/setgid program was terminated, either via panic or signal, it could leak the contents of its registers.

cmd/go: improper sanitization of LDFLAGS

The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when using cgo. This may occur when running "go get" on a malicious module, or when running any other command which builds untrusted code. This is can by triggered by linker flags, specified via a "#cgo LDFLAGS" directive.

html/template: improper sanitization of CSS values

Angle brackets (<>) were not considered dangerous characters when inserted into CSS contexts. Templates containing multiple actions separated by a '/' character could result in unexpectedly closing the CSS context and allowing for injection of unexpected HMTL, if executed with untrusted input.

html/template: improper handling of JavaScript whitespace

Not all valid JavaScript whitespace characters were considered to be whitespace. Templates containing whitespace characters outside of the character set "\t\n\f\r\u0020\u2028\u2029" in JavaScript contexts that also contain actions may not be properly sanitized during execution.

html/template: improper handling of empty HTML attributes

Templates containing actions in unquoted HTML attributes (e.g. "attr={{.}}") executed with empty input could result in output that would have unexpected results when parsed due to HTML normalization rules. This may allow injection of arbitrary attributes into tags.
