go1.20.6 (released 2023-07-11) includes a security fix to the net/http package,
as well as bug fixes to the compiler, cgo, the cover tool, the go command,
the runtime, and the crypto/ecdsa, go/build, go/printer, net/mail, and text/template
packages. See the Go 1.20.6 milestone on our issue tracker for details.

These minor releases include 1 security fixes following the security policy:
net/http: insufficient sanitization of Host header
The HTTP/1 client did not fully validate the contents of the Host header.
A maliciously crafted Host header could inject additional headers or entire
requests. The HTTP/1 client now refuses to send requests containing an
invalid Request.Host or Request.URL.Host value.
Thanks to Bartek Nowotarski for reporting this issue.
Includes security fixes for [CVE-2023-29406 ][1] and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/60374

go1.20.5 (released 2023-06-06) includes four security fixes to the cmd/go and
runtime packages, as well as bug fixes to the compiler, the go command, the
runtime, and the crypto/rsa, net, and os packages. See the Go 1.20.5 milestone
on our issue tracker for details:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=milestone%3AGo1.20.5+label%3ACherryPickApproved
full diff: https://github.com/golang/go/compare/go1.20.4...go1.20.5
These minor releases include 3 security fixes following the security policy:
- cmd/go: cgo code injection
The go command may generate unexpected code at build time when using cgo. This
may result in unexpected behavior when running a go program which uses cgo.
This may occur when running an untrusted module which contains directories with
newline characters in their names. Modules which are retrieved using the go command,
i.e. via "go get", are not affected (modules retrieved using GOPATH-mode, i.e.
GO111MODULE=off, may be affected).
Thanks to Juho Nurminen of Mattermost for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-29402 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/60167.
- runtime: unexpected behavior of setuid/setgid binaries
The Go runtime didn't act any differently when a binary had the setuid/setgid
bit set. On Unix platforms, if a setuid/setgid binary was executed with standard
I/O file descriptors closed, opening any files could result in unexpected
content being read/written with elevated prilieges. Similarly if a setuid/setgid
program was terminated, either via panic or signal, it could leak the contents
of its registers.
Thanks to Vincent Dehors from Synacktiv for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-29403 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/60272.
- cmd/go: improper sanitization of LDFLAGS
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.
Thanks to Juho Nurminen of Mattermost for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-29404 and CVE-2023-29405 and Go issues https://go.dev/issue/60305 and https://go.dev/issue/60306.

go1.20.4 (released 2023-05-02) includes three security fixes to the html/template
package, as well as bug fixes to the compiler, the runtime, and the crypto/subtle,
crypto/tls, net/http, and syscall packages. See the Go 1.20.4 milestone on our
issue tracker for details:

from the announcement:
> These minor releases include 3 security fixes following the security policy:
>
> - html/template: improper sanitization of CSS values
>
> Angle brackets (`<>`) were not considered dangerous characters when inserted
> into CSS contexts. Templates containing multiple actions separated by a '/'
> character could result in unexpectedly closing the CSS context and allowing
> for injection of unexpected HMTL, if executed with untrusted input.
>
> Thanks to Juho Nurminen of Mattermost for reporting this issue.
>
> This is CVE-2023-24539 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/59720.
>
> - html/template: improper handling of JavaScript whitespace
>
> Not all valid JavaScript whitespace characters were considered to be
> whitespace. Templates containing whitespace characters outside of the character
> set "\t\n\f\r\u0020\u2028\u2029" in JavaScript contexts that also contain
> actions may not be properly sanitized during execution.
>
> Thanks to Juho Nurminen of Mattermost for reporting this issue.
>
> This is CVE-2023-24540 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/59721.
>
> - html/template: improper handling of empty HTML attributes
>
> Templates containing actions in unquoted HTML attributes (e.g. "attr={{.}}")
> executed with empty input could result in output that would have unexpected
> results when parsed due to HTML normalization rules. This may allow injection
> of arbitrary attributes into tags.

> Thanks to Juho Nurminen of Mattermost for reporting this issue.
