Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.

1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-29923)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in net.ParseIP and net.ParseCIDR, as the Go interpreter does not properly consider extraneous zero characters at the beginning of an IP address octet. A remote attacker can bypass access control that is based on IP addresses, because of unexpected octal interpretation.

Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
