The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6574-1 advisory.
The html/template package does not properly handle HTML-like comment tokens, nor hashbang #! comment tokens, in <script> contexts. This may cause the template parser to improperly interpret the contents of <script> contexts, causing actions to be improperly escaped. This may be leveraged to perform an XSS attack. (CVE-2023-39318)
The html/template package does not apply the proper rules for handling occurrences of <script,

- The html/template package does not properly handle HTML-like comment tokens, nor hashbang #! comment
tokens, in <script> contexts. This may cause the template parser to improperly interpret the contents of
<script> contexts, causing actions to be improperly escaped. This may be leveraged to perform an XSS
attack. (CVE-2023-39318)
- The html/template package does not apply the proper rules for handling occurrences of <script, <!--,
and </script within JS literals in <script> contexts. This may cause the template parser to improperly
consider script contexts to be terminated early, causing actions to be improperly escaped. This could be
leveraged to perform an XSS attack. (CVE-2023-39319)
- Line directives (//line) can be used to bypass the restrictions on //go:cgo_ directives, allowing
blocked linker and compiler flags to be passed during compilation. This can result in unexpected execution
of arbitrary code when running go build. The line directive requires the absolute path of the file in
which the directive lives, which makes exploiting this issue significantly more complex. (CVE-2023-39323)
- A malicious HTTP/2 client which rapidly creates requests and immediately resets them can cause excessive
server resource consumption. While the total number of requests is bounded by the
http2.Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting, resetting an in-progress request allows the attacker to create
a new request while the existing one is still executing. With the fix applied, HTTP/2 servers now bound
the number of simultaneously executing handler goroutines to the stream concurrency limit
(MaxConcurrentStreams). New requests arriving when at the limit (which can only happen after the client
has reset an existing, in-flight request) will be queued until a handler exits. If the request queue grows
too large, the server will terminate the connection. This issue is also fixed in golang.org/x/net/http2
for users manually configuring HTTP/2. The default stream concurrency limit is 250 streams (requests) per
HTTP/2 connection. This value may be adjusted using the golang.org/x/net/http2 package; see the
Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting and the ConfigureServer function. (CVE-2023-39325)
- A malicious HTTP sender can use chunk extensions to cause a receiver reading from a request or response
body to read many more bytes from the network than are in the body. A malicious HTTP client can further
exploit this to cause a server to automatically read a large amount of data (up to about 1GiB) when a
handler fails to read the entire body of a request. Chunk extensions are a little-used HTTP feature which
permit including additional metadata in a request or response body sent using the chunked encoding. The
net/http chunked encoding reader discards this metadata. A sender can exploit this by inserting a large
metadata segment with each byte transferred. The chunk reader now produces an error if the ratio of real
body to encoded bytes grows too small. (CVE-2023-39326)
- The HTTP/2 protocol allows a denial of service (server resource consumption) because request cancellation
can reset many streams quickly, as exploited in the wild in August through October 2023. (CVE-2023-44487)
- Using go get to fetch a module with the .git suffix may unexpectedly fallback to the insecure git://
protocol if the module is unavailable via the secure https:// and git+ssh:// protocols, even if
GOINSECURE is not set for said module. This only affects users who are not using the module proxy and are
fetching modules directly (i.e. GOPROXY=off). (CVE-2023-45285)
