NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream policy-controller package and not the policy-controller package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

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. This may occur when running an untrusted module which contains directories with newline characters in their names. Modules which are retrieved using the go command, i.e. via "go get", are not affected (modules retrieved using GOPATH-mode, i.e. GO111MODULE=off, may be affected).
