CVE-2018-6574 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:9 golang-1.8 to version 1.8.1-1+deb9u1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-1.8 package and not the golang-1.8 package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
Go before 1.8.7, Go 1.9.x before 1.9.4, and Go 1.10 pre-releases before Go 1.10rc2 allow "go get" remote command execution during source code build, by leveraging the gcc or clang plugin feature, because -fplugin= and -plugin= arguments were not blocked.
