Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the 'go bug' command within the Go programming language tools. This command writes to temporary files with predictable names. A local attacker with access to the system's temporary directory could exploit this by creating a symbolic link (symlink) with one of these predictable names. This would cause the 'go bug' command to overwrite the target of the symlink, potentially leading to arbitrary file overwrite.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-07 20:01:27 UTC

The "go bug" command writes to two files with predictable names in the system temporary directory (for example, "/tmp"). An attacker with access to the temporary directory can create a symlink in one of these names, causing "go bug" to overwrite the target of the symlink.
