Technical Summary
Red Hat Product Security issued an advisory (RHSA-2025:23741) for the go-toolset module in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 addressing two security flaws. CVE-2025-47906 is a vulnerability in the os/exec package where LookPath may return unexpected paths, potentially leading to security issues related to command execution. CVE-2025-58183 is an unbounded allocation vulnerability in the archive/tar package when parsing GNU sparse map files, which could lead to resource exhaustion. The advisory provides updated packages to fix these vulnerabilities for RHEL 8.4 variants including Advanced Mission Critical Update Support and Extended Update Support Long-Life Add-On. No CVSS scores are provided in the advisory, but the impact is rated moderate by Red Hat.
Potential Impact
The vulnerabilities could allow unexpected behavior in command path resolution and excessive memory allocation during archive parsing, which may affect system stability or security when using the Go Toolset on affected RHEL 8.4 systems. The advisory rates the overall impact as moderate. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released updated go-toolset packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 to address these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the security update as described in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2025:23741 and the referenced article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 to remediate the issues.
