Summary

Vulnerability in Golang Go affect Cloud Pak System.

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.
