NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream go-toolset:rhel8/delve package and not the go-toolset:rhel8/delve package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when using cgo. This may occur when running "go get" on a malicious module, or when running any other command which builds untrusted code. This is can by triggered by linker flags, specified via a "#cgo LDFLAGS" directive. The arguments for a number of flags which are non-optional are incorrectly considered optional, allowing disallowed flags to be smuggled through the LDFLAGS sanitization. This affects usage of both the gc and gccgo compilers.
