Changes
In file: manager.go, there is a function Run which has a goroutine running inside a loop while using the iteration variable of the enclosing loop. This may lead to a scenario in which the inner function may observe the wrong value of the iteration variable coming from a different iteration and may lead to a race condition. This scenario is likely to happen with go version 1.21 and prior to that.
Fix
according to documentation one of the fix
from go.mod file
so, this type of race condition problem is likely to happen with this go version.
same type of fix was suggested for endpointset.go file as well.
Sponsorship and Support
This work is done by the security researchers from OpenRefactory and is supported by the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF): Project Alpha-Omega. Alpha-Omega is a project partnering with open source software project maintainers to systematically find new, as-yet-undiscovered vulnerabilities in open source code - and get them fixed – to improve global software supply chain security.
The bug is found by running the Intelligent Code Repair (iCR) tool by OpenRefactory and then manually triaging the results.
