  <background>
    <p>Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build
      simple, reliable, and efficient software.
    </p>
    
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>A command injection flaw was discovered in the source code build phase
      because of the “go get” command, which does not block -fplugin= and
      -plugin arguments.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to process a repository containing
      maliciously-crafted build instructions using “go get”, resulting in
      the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All Go users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/go-1.9.4"
    </code>
