FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.

CVE-2022-23772 [HIGH] CWE-190 golang: math/big: uncontrolled memory consumption due to an unhandled overflow via Rat.SetString
golang: math/big: uncontrolled memory consumption due to an unhandled overflow via Rat.SetString
Rat.SetString in math/big in Go before 1.16.14 and 1.17.x before 1.17.7 has an overflow that can lead to Uncontrolled Memory Consumption.
A flaw was found in the big package of the math library in golang. The Rat.SetString could cause an overflow, and if left unhandled, it could lead to excessive memory use. This issue could allow a remote attacker to impact the availability of the system.
Statement: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9 are affected, because the code-base is affected by this vulnerability.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this issue as having Moderate security impact, and the issue is not currently planned to be addressed in future updates for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, hence
