GHSA-6wxm-mpqj-6jpf

Insecure Temporary File usage in github.com/golang/glog

Quick fix

GHSA-6wxm-mpqj-6jpf — github.com/golang/glog: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

go get github.com/golang/glog@v1.2.4

Details

When logs are written to a widely-writable directory (the default), an unprivileged attacker may predict a privileged process's log file path and pre-create a symbolic link to a sensitive file in its place. When that privileged process runs, it will follow the planted symlink and overwrite that sensitive file. To fix that, glog now causes the program to exit (with status code 2) when it finds that the configured log file already exists.
