In syscall.StartProcess and os/exec.Cmd, invalid environment variable values containing NUL values are not properly checked for. A malicious environment variable value can exploit this behavior to set a value for a different environment variable. For example, the environment variable string \"A=B\\x00C=D\" sets the variables \"A=B\" and \"C=D\".","affected":[{"package":{"name":"golang","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/golang"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.18.8"},{"introduced":"1.19.0"},{"fixed":"1.19.3"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/golang/BIT-golang-2022-41716.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N"}]}],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://go.dev/cl/446916"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://go.dev/issue/56284"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://groups.google.com/g/golang-announce/c/mbHY1UY3BaM/m/hSpmRzk-AgAJ"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://pkg.go.dev/vuln/GO-2022-1095"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20230120-0007/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-41716"}],"database_specific":{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:golang:go:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"severity":"High"}}
