==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro)
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro)

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Go.

Software Description:
- golang-1.13: Go programming language compiler
- golang-1.16: Go programming language compiler

Details:

USN-6038-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Go 1.18. This update provides
the corresponding updates for Go 1.13 and Go 1.16.

CVE-2022-29526 and CVE-2022-30630 only affected Go 1.16.

Original advisory details:

  It was discovered that the Go net/http module incorrectly handled
  Transfer-Encoding headers in the HTTP/1 client. A remote attacker could
  possibly use this issue to perform an HTTP Request Smuggling attack.
  (CVE-2022-1705)

  It was discovered that Go did not properly manage memory under certain
  circumstances. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a panic
  resulting into a denial of service. (CVE-2022-1962, CVE-2022-27664,
  CVE-2022-28131, CVE-2022-30630, CVE-2022-30631, CVE-2022-30632,
  CVE-2022-30633, CVE-2022-30635, CVE-2022-32189, CVE-2022-41715,
  CVE-2022-41717, CVE-2023-24534, CVE-2023-24537)

  It was discovered that Go did not properly implemented the maximum size of
  file headers in Reader.Read. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
  cause a panic resulting into a denial of service. (CVE-2022-2879)

  It was discovered that the Go net/http module incorrectly handled query
  parameters in requests forwarded by ReverseProxy. A remote attacker could
  possibly use this issue to perform an HTTP Query Parameter Smuggling 
attack.
  (CVE-2022-2880)

  It was discovered that Go did not properly manage the permissions for
  Faccessat function. A attacker could possibly use this issue to expose
  sensitive information. (CVE-2022-29526)

  It was discovered that Go did not properly generate the values for
  ticket_age_add in session tickets. An attacker could possibly use this
  issue to observe TLS handshakes to correlate successive connections by
  comparing ticket ages during session resumption. (CVE-2022-30629)

  It was discovered that Go did not properly manage client IP addresses in
  net/http. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause ReverseProxy
  to set the client IP as the value of the X-Forwarded-For header.
  (CVE-2022-32148)

  It was discovered that Go did not properly validate backticks (`) as
  Javascript string delimiters, and do not escape them as expected. An
  attacker could possibly use this issue to inject arbitrary Javascript code
  into the Go template. (CVE-2023-24538)
