Panic during certificate parsing on Darwin in crypto/x509

Verifying certificate chains containing certificates which are not compliant with RFC 5280 causes Certificate.Verify to panic on macOS.

These chains can be delivered through TLS and can cause a crypto/tls or net/http client to crash.

Security update for go1.18-openssl

This update for go1.18-openssl fixes the following issues:

  • Add subpackage go1.x-libstd compiled shared object libstd.so (jsc#PED-1962)

    • Main go1.x package included libstd.so in previous versions
    • Split libstd.so into subpackage that can be installed standalone
    • Continues the slimming down of main go1.x package by 40 Mb
    • Experimental and not recommended for general use, Go currently has no ABI
    • Upstream Go has not committed to support buildmode=shared long-term
    • Do not use in packaging, build static single binaries (the default)
    • Upstream Go go1.x binary releases do not include libstd.so
    • go1.x Suggests go1.x-libstd so not installed by default Recommends
    • go1.x-libstd does not Require: go1.x so can install standalone
    • Provides go-libstd unversioned package name
    • Fix build step -buildmode=shared std to omit -linkshared
  • Packaging improvements:

    • go1.x Suggests go1.x-doc so not installed by default Recommends
    • Use Group: Development/Languages/Go instead of Other
  • Improvements to go1.x packaging spec:

    • On Tumbleweed bootstrap with current default gcc13 and gccgo118
    • On SLE-12 aarch64 ppc64le ppc64 remove overrides to bootstrap using go1.x package (%bcond_without gccgo). This is no longer needed on current SLE-12:Update and removing will consolidate the build configurations used.
    • Change source URLs to go.dev as per Go upstream
    • On x86_64 export GOAMD64=v1 as per the current baseline. At this time forgo GOAMD64=v3 option for x86_64_v3 support.
    • On x86_64 %define go_amd64=v1 as current instruction baseline
  • Update to version 1.18.10.1 cut from the go1.18-openssl-fips branch at the revision tagged go1.18.10-1-openssl-fips.

    • Merge branch dev.boringcrypto.go1.18 into go1.18-openssl-fips
    • Merge go1.18.10 into dev.boringcrypto.go1.18
  • go1.18.10 (released 2023-01-10) includes fixes to cgo, the compiler, the linker, and the crypto/x509, net/http, and syscall packages. Refs bsc#1193742 go1.18 release tracking

    • go#57705 misc/cgo: backport needed for dlltool fix
    • go#57426 crypto/x509: Verify on macOS does not return typed errors
    • go#57344 cmd/compile: the loong64 intrinsic for CompareAndSwapUint32 function needs to sign extend its 'old' argument.
    • go#57338 syscall, internal/poll: accept4-to-accept fallback removal broke Go code on Synology DSM 6.2 ARM devices
    • go#57213 os: TestLstat failure on Linux Aarch64
    • go#57211 reflect: sort.SliceStable sorts incorrectly on arm64 with less function created with reflect.MakeFunc and slice of sufficient length
    • go#57057 cmd/go: remove test dependency on gopkg.in service
    • go#57054 cmd/go: TestScript/version_buildvcs_git_gpg (if enabled) fails on linux longtest builders
    • go#57044 cgo: malformed DWARF TagVariable entry
    • go#57028 cmd/cgo: Wrong types in compiler errors with clang 14
    • go#56833 cmd/link/internal/ppc64: too-far trampoline is reused
    • go#56711 net: reenable TestLookupDotsWithRemoteSource and TestLookupGoogleSRV with a different target
