This can be dangerous in certain cases, such as when dumping memory state, or assuming the status of standard i/o file descriptors. If a setuid/setgid binary is executed with standard I/O file descriptors closed, opening any files can result in unexpected content being read or written with elevated privileges. Similarly, if a setuid/setgid program is terminated, either via panic or signal, it may leak the contents of its registers.","affected":[{"package":{"name":"golang","ecosystem":"Bitnami","purl":"pkg:bitnami/golang"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.19.10"},{"introduced":"1.20.0"},{"fixed":"1.20.5"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/bitnami/vulndb/tree/main/data/golang/BIT-golang-2023-29403.json"},"severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}],"references":[{"type":"FIX","url":"https://go.dev/cl/501223"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://go.dev/issue/60272"},{"type":"DISCUSSION","url":"https://groups.google.com/g/golang-announce/c/q5135a9d924/m/j0ZoAJOHAwAJ"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/NZ2O6YCO2IZMZJELQGZYR2WAUNEDLYV6/"},{"type":"DISCUSSION","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/XBS3IIK6ADV24C5ULQU55QLT2UE762ZX/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://pkg.go.dev/vuln/GO-2023-1840"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202311-09"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20241220-0009/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-29403"}],"database_specific":{"cpes":["cpe:2.3:a:golang:go:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"severity":"High"}}
