NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream go-toolset package and not the go-toolset package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Go before 1.17 does not properly consider extraneous zero characters at the beginning of an IP address octet, which (in some situations) allows attackers to bypass access control that is based on IP addresses, because of unexpected octal interpretation. This affects net.ParseIP and net.ParseCIDR.
