NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-1.18 package and not the golang-1.18 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:22.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

On Unix platforms, the Go runtime does not behave differently when a binary is run with the setuid/setgid bits. This can be dangerous in certain cases, such as when dumping memory state, or assuming the status of standard i/o file descriptors. If a setuid/setgid binary is executed with standard I/O file descriptors closed, opening any files can result in unexpected content being read or written with elevated privileges. Similarly, if a setuid/setgid program is terminated, either via panic or signal, it may leak the contents of its registers.
