CVE-2023-29405

A flaw was found in golang. The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when using cgo. This can occur when running "go get" on a malicious module, or when running any other command which builds untrusted code. This can be triggered by linker flags, specified via a "#cgo LDFLAGS" directive. Flags containing embedded spaces are mishandled, allowing disallowed flags to be smuggled through the LDFLAGS sanitization by including them in the argument of another flag. This only affects usage of the gccgo compiler.

This vulnerability is only applicable to customer use of the GCCGO compiler and not any pre-compiled golang binaries shipped by Red Hat.
