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 malicious gcc flags specified via a #cgo directive.
