| Vector | AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Go (affected versions not specified)
Description
The "go bug" command writes to two files with predictable names in the system temporary directory, such as "/tmp". An attacker with access to this directory can create a symbolic link (symlink)—a file that points to another file or directory—using one of these predictable names, which causes the command to overwrite the target file of the symlink.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
