Description Pedro Sampaio 2021-01-06 14:30:24 UTC
In x/text in Go 1.15.4, an "index out of range" panic occurs in language.ParseAcceptLanguage while parsing the -u- extension. x/text/language is supposed to be able to parse an HTTP Accept-Language header.

Comment 1 Pedro Sampaio 2021-01-06 14:32:28 UTC
Created golang tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: epel-7 [bug 1913336]
Affects: fedora-all [bug 1913335]

Comment 2 juneau 2021-01-14 15:34:59 UTC
Removed services which do not appear to use go{lang}, marked remaining services unaffected as specified version not found.

Comment 4 Jason Shepherd 2021-01-15 05:49:09 UTC
I couldn't find any calls to the affected function "ParseAcceptLanguage" in quay-clair-container, but filed tracking bugs anyway since we are using x/text/language in that container in 3.4 candidate build. As yet there is no fixed version of golang.org/x/text which we are aware of.

Comment 6 Sage McTaggart 2021-01-20 18:16:52 UTC
Changing CVSS to match NVD, in a worst case scenario.

Comment 18 Sam Fowler 2021-02-16 09:43:37 UTC
It can be shown with callgraph[0] which main packages use the affected code. A negative example with the operator-registry container[1]:

Identify main packages:

$ grep -rl --exclude-dir=vendor 'package main' . | grep -E '\.go$' | grep -v 'test' | grep -v 'hack' | xargs dirname 2>/dev/null | sort -u
./cmd/appregistry-server
./cmd/configmap-server
./cmd/initializer
./cmd/opm
./cmd/registry-server

Then iterate over these with `callgraph` and grep for any uses of the affected package:

$ callgraph -format digraph ./cmd/appregistry-server | grep golang.org/x/text/language
$

No results, so this package is not used by the "./cmd/appregistry-server" main package in the operator registry container. 

A positive example with the installer container[2]:

$ callgraph -format digraph ./cmd/openshift-install | golang.org/x/text/language
"(*golang.org/x/text/language.Tag).tag" "(golang.org/x/text/internal/language/compact.Tag).Tag"
"(golang.org/x/text/language.Tag).MarshalText" "(*golang.org/x/text/language.Tag).tag"
"(golang.org/x/text/language.Tag).MarshalText" "(golang.org/x/text/internal/language.Tag).MarshalText"
...

We can see that there are functions from the affected package used by "cmd/openshift-install". Therefore we can consider the openshift installer container affected by this CVE.

The was repeated for all OpenShift source code repositories.

`go list -deps` can also be used instead of `callgraph`. Using `go list -deps`, we get the same list of OpenShift components. We can go further and say that the affected code is not only unused, it is not imported at all, and therefore not built into the binaries.

Comment 26 Sam Fowler 2021-02-23 01:13:18 UTC
Statement:

Below Red Hat products include the affected version of 'golang.org/x/text', however the language package is not being used and hence they are rated as having a security impact of Low. A future update may address this issue.

* Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage 4
* OpenShift ServiceMesh (OSSM)
* Red Hat Gluster Storage 3
* Windows Container Support for Red Hat OpenShift

Only three components in OpenShift Container Platform include the affected package, 'golang.org/x/text/language' , the installer, baremetal installer and thanos container images. All other components that include a version of 'golang.org/x/text' do not include the 'language' package and are therefore not affected.
