Descriptions

Code injection in Cmd.Start in os/exec before Go 1.17.11 and Go 1.18.3 allows execution of any binaries in the working directory named either "..com" or "..exe" by calling Cmd.Run, Cmd.Start, Cmd.Output, or Cmd.CombinedOutput when Cmd.Path is unset.

Una inyección de código en el archivo Cmd.Start en os/exec versiones anteriores a Go 1.17.11 y Go 1.18.3, permite una ejecución de cualquier binario en el directorio de trabajo llamado "..com" o "..exe" llamando a Cmd.Run, Cmd.Start, Cmd.Output o Cmd.CombinedOutput cuando Cmd.Path no está establecido

An update that solves four vulnerabilities and has one errata is now available. This update for go1.17 fixes the following issues. Fixed crypto/rand rand.Read hangs with extremely large buffers. Fixed crypto/tls session tickets lack random ticket_age_add. Fixed path/filepath Clean returns 'c:' on Windows. Fixed os/exec empty Cmd.Path can result in running unintended binary on Windows.
