github.com/golang/go is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation. The vulnerability exists due to the unsanitized NULL values in the Start function of exec.go, allowing an attacker to maliciously set environment variables on windows. For example, the environment variable string A=B\x00C=D sets the variables A=B and C=D.
