| summary: Unsafe behavior in setuid/setgid binaries in runtime |
| description: |- |
| On Unix platforms, the Go runtime does not behave differently when a binary is |
| run with the setuid/setgid bits. This can be dangerous in certain cases, such as |
| when dumping memory state, or assuming the status of standard i/o file |
| descriptors. |
| |
| If a setuid/setgid binary is executed with standard I/O file descriptors closed, |
| opening any files can result in unexpected content being read or written with |
| elevated privileges. Similarly, if a setuid/setgid program is terminated, either |
| via panic or signal, it may leak the contents of its registers. |
