This minor release includes 9 security fixes following the security policy:
net/http: improper sanitization of Transfer-Encoding header
The HTTP/1 client accepted some invalid Transfer-Encoding headers as indicating
a "chunked" encoding. This could potentially allow for request smuggling, but
only if combined with an intermediate server that also improperly failed to
reject the header as invalid.
This is CVE-2022-1705 and https://go.dev/issue/53188.
When httputil.ReverseProxy.ServeHTTP was called with a Request.Header map
containing a nil value for the X-Forwarded-For header, ReverseProxy would set
the client IP as the value of the X-Forwarded-For header, contrary to its
documentation. In the more usual case where a Director function set the
X-Forwarded-For header value to nil, ReverseProxy would leave the header
unmodified as expected.
This is https://go.dev/issue/53423 and CVE-2022-32148.
Thanks to Christian Mehlmauer for reporting this issue.
compress/gzip: stack exhaustion in Reader.Read
Calling Reader.Read on an archive containing a large number of concatenated
0-length compressed files can cause a panic due to stack exhaustion.
This is CVE-2022-30631 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/53168.
encoding/xml: stack exhaustion in Unmarshal
Calling Unmarshal on a XML document into a Go struct which has a nested field
that uses the any field tag can cause a panic due to stack exhaustion.
This is CVE-2022-30633 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/53611.
encoding/xml: stack exhaustion in Decoder.Skip
Calling Decoder.Skip when parsing a deeply nested XML document can cause a
panic due to stack exhaustion.
The Go Security team discovered this issue, and it was independently reported
by Juho Nurminen of Mattermost.
This is CVE-2022-28131 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/53614.
encoding/gob: stack exhaustion in Decoder.Decode
Calling Decoder.Decode on a message which contains deeply nested structures can
cause a panic due to stack exhaustion.
This is CVE-2022-30635 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/53615.

This minor release includes 4 security fixes following the security policy
<https://go.dev/security>:
- crypto/rand: rand.Read hangs with extremely large buffers
On Windows, rand.Read will hang indefinitely if passed a buffer larger
than 1 << 32 - 1 bytes.
Thanks to Davis Goodin and Quim Muntal, working at Microsoft on the Go
toolset, for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2022-30634 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/52561.
- crypto/tls: session tickets lack random ticket_age_add
Session tickets generated by crypto/tls did not contain a randomly
generated ticket_age_add. This allows an attacker that can observe TLS
handshakes to correlate successive connections by comparing ticket ages
during session resumption.
Thanks to GitHub user @nervuri for reporting this.
This is CVE-2022-30629 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/52814.
- os/exec: empty Cmd.Path can result in running unintended binary on
Windows

This minor release includes three security fixes following the security policy:
- encoding/pem: fix stack overflow in Decode
A large (more than 5 MB) PEM input can cause a stack overflow in Decode,
leading the program to crash.
Thanks to Juho Nurminen of Mattermost who reported the error.
This is CVE-2022-24675 and https://go.dev/issue/51853.
- crypto/elliptic: tolerate all oversized scalars in generic P-256
A crafted scalar input longer than 32 bytes can cause P256().ScalarMult or
P256().ScalarBaseMult to panic. Indirect uses through crypto/ecdsa and
crypto/tls are unaffected. amd64, arm64, ppc64le, and s390x are unaffected.
This was discovered thanks to a Project Wycheproof test vector.
This is CVE-2022-28327 and https://go.dev/issue/52075.
- crypto/x509: non-compliant certificates can cause a panic in Verify on macOS in Go 1.18
Verifying certificate chains containing certificates which are not compliant
with RFC 5280 causes Certificate.Verify to panic on macOS.
These chains can be delivered through TLS and can cause a crypto/tls or
net/http client to crash.

quarterly release.
There are lots of news, including support for Generics. Read the release
notes for details.
This minor release includes a security fix following the security policy:
regexp: stack exhaustion compiling deeply nested expressions
On 64-bit platforms, an extremely deeply nested expression can cause
regexp.Compile to cause goroutine stack exhaustion, forcing the program to
exit. Note this applies to very large expressions, on the order of 2MB.
Thanks to Juho Nurminen of Mattermost for reporting this.

crypto/elliptic: fix IsOnCurve for big.Int values that are not valid coordinates
Some big.Int values that are not valid field elements (negative or overflowing)
might cause Curve.IsOnCurve to incorrectly return true. Operating on those values
may cause a panic or an invalid curve operation. Note that Unmarshal will never
return such values.
Thanks to Guido Vranken for reporting this.
This is CVE-2022-23806 and https://go.dev/issue/50974.
math/big: prevent large memory consumption in Rat.SetString
An attacker can cause unbounded memory growth in a program using (*Rat).SetString
due to an unhandled overflow.
Thanks to the OSS-Fuzz project for discovering this issue and to Emmanuel Odeke
(@odeke_et) for reporting it.
This is CVE-2022-23772 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/50699.
cmd/go: prevent branches from materializing into versions
A branch whose name resembles a version tag (such as "v1.0.0" or "subdir/v2.0.0-dev")
can be considered a valid version by the go command. Materializing versions from
branches might be unexpected and bypass ACLs that limit the creation of tags but not
branches.
This is CVE-2022-23773 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/35671.

details.
When a Go program running on a Unix system is out of file descriptors and calls
syscall.ForkExec (including indirectly by using the os/exec package),
syscall.ForkExec can close file descriptor 0 as it fails. If this happens (or
can be provoked) repeatedly, it can result in misdirected I/O such as writing
network traffic intended for one connection to a different connection, or
content intended for one file to a different one.
This is CVE-2021-44717 and is fixed in Go 1.17.5 and Go 1.16.12.
An attacker can cause unbounded memory growth in a Go server accepting HTTP/2
requests.
This is CVE-2021-44716 and is fixed in Go 1.17.5 and Go 1.16.12.

This minor release includes a security fix according to the new security policy.
When invoking functions from WASM modules, built using GOARCH=wasm GOOS=js,
passing very large arguments can cause portions of the module to be overwritten
with data from the arguments.
If using wasm_exec.js to execute WASM modules, users will need to replace their
copy (as described in https://golang.org/wiki/WebAssembly#getting-started)
after rebuilding any modules.
This is issue 48797 and CVE-2021-38297. Thanks to Ben Lubar for reporting this

I ran a bulk build and found three packages that broke. Two are fixed.
I don't know how to fix net/amazon-ecs-cli, but it did not build for me on
Go 1.16 either, so it is not a direct regression.
Some relevant changes:
- new register-based calling convention (not on NetBSD though IIUC)
- new language feature to cast slices into array pointers
- the usual amount of bugfixes
This minor release includes a security fix according to the new security
policy.
A net/http/httputil ReverseProxy can panic due to a race condition if its
Handler aborts with ErrAbortHandler, for example due to an error in copying the
response body. An attacker might be able to force the conditions leading to the
race condition.

crypto/tls clients can panic when provided a certificate of the wrong type for
the negotiated parameters. net/http clients performing HTTPS requests are also
affected. The panic can be triggered by an attacker in a privileged network
position without access to the server certificate's private key, as long as a
trusted ECDSA or Ed25519 certificate for the server exists (or can be issued),
or the client is configured with Config.InsecureSkipVerify. Clients that
disable all TLS_RSA cipher suites (that is, TLS 1.0–1.2 cipher
suites without ECDHE), as well as TLS 1.3-only clients, are unaffected.
This is issue 47143 and CVE-2021-34558. Thanks to Imre Rad for reporting this

Thanks to the OSS-Fuzz project for discovering this issue and to Emmanuel
Odeke for reporting it.
ReverseProxy in net/http/httputil <https://pkg.go.dev/net/http/httputil> could
be made to forward certain hop-by-hop headers, including Connection. In
case the target of the ReverseProxy was itself a reverse proxy, this would
let an attacker drop arbitrary headers, including those set by the
ReverseProxy.Director.

The LookupCNAME, LookupSRV, LookupMX, LookupNS, and LookupAddr functions in
net <https://pkg.go.dev/net>, and their respective methods on the Resolver
<https://pkg.go.dev/net#Resolver> type may return arbitrary values
retrieved from DNS which do not follow the established RFC 1035
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1035>rules for domain names. If
these names are used without further sanitization, for instance unsafely
included in HTML, they may allow for injection of unexpected content. Note

- encoding/xml: infinite loop when using xml.NewTokenDecoder with a
custom TokenReader
The Decode, DecodeElement, and Skip methods of an xml.Decoder provided by
