NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-1.15 package and not the golang-1.15 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Code injection in the go command with cgo before Go 1.14.12 and Go 1.15.5 allows arbitrary code execution at build time via a malicious unquoted symbol name in a linked object file.
