Due to unsanitized NUL values, attackers may be able to maliciously set
environment variables on Windows. 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 โ€œA=B\x00C=Dโ€ sets the variables โ€œA=Bโ€ and
โ€œC=Dโ€.

Notes

Author Note
mdeslaur Packages built using golang need to be rebuilt once the vulnerability has been fixed. This CVE entry does not list packages that need rebuilding outside of the main repository or the Ubuntu variants with PPA overlays.
