Summary

Potential Golang Go arbitrary code execution vulnerabilitiy.( CVE-2023-39323) has been identified that may affect IBM Watson CP4D Data Stores. The vulnerability have been addressed. Refer to details for additional information.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2023-39323
**DESCRIPTION:**Golang Go could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by improper enforcement of line directive restrictions in the “//go:cgo_” directives. By providing specially crafted input in the linker and compiler flags, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system. Note: The line directive requires the absolute path of the file in which the directive lives, which makes exploiting this issue significantly more complex.
