Subject: cmd/go: disallow -lto_library in LDFLAGS
X-Git-Tag: go1.23rc1~449
X-Git-Url: http://www.git.cypherpunks.su/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=348b23830d82aece5775eb9f7f3b3587cf5300c6;p=gostls13.git

cmd/go: disallow -lto_library in LDFLAGS

The darwin linker allows setting the LTO library with the -lto_library
flag. This wasn't caught by our "safe linker flags" check because it
was covered by the -lx flag used for linking libraries. This change
adds a specific check for excluded flags which otherwise satisfy our
existing checks.

Loading a mallicious LTO library would allow an attacker to cause the
linker to execute abritrary code when "go build" was called.

Thanks to Juho Forsén of Mattermost for reporting this issue.

Fixes #67119
Fixes CVE-2024-24787
