Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.
go1.20.5 (released 2023-06-06) includes four security fixes to the cmd/go and runtime packages, as well as bug fixes to the compiler, the go command, the runtime, and the crypto/rsa, net, and os packages. See the Go 1.20.5 milestone on our issue tracker for details:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues?q=milestone%3AGo1.20.5+label%3ACherryPickApproved
full diff: golang/go@go1.20.4...go1.20.5
These minor releases include 3 security fixes following the security policy:
cmd/go: cgo code injection The go command may generate unexpected code at build time when using cgo. This may result in unexpected behavior when running a go program which uses cgo.
This may occur when running an untrusted module which contains directories with newline characters in their names. Modules which are retrieved using the go command, i.e. via "go get", are not affected (modules retrieved using GOPATH-mode, i.e. GO111MODULE=off, may be affected).
Thanks to Juho Nurminen of Mattermost for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-29402 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/60167.
runtime: unexpected behavior of setuid/setgid binaries
The Go runtime didn't act any differently when a binary had the setuid/setgid bit set. On Unix platforms, if a setuid/setgid binary was executed with standard I/O file descriptors closed, opening any files could result in unexpected content being read/written with elevated prilieges. Similarly if a setuid/setgid program was terminated, either via panic or signal, it could leak the contents of its registers.
Thanks to Vincent Dehors from Synacktiv for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-29403 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/60272.
cmd/go: improper sanitization of LDFLAGS
The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when using cgo. This may occur when running "go get" on a malicious module, or when running any other command which builds untrusted code. This is can by triggered by linker flags, specified via a "#cgo LDFLAGS" directive.
Thanks to Juho Nurminen of Mattermost for reporting this issue.
This is CVE-2023-29404 and CVE-2023-29405 and Go issues https://go.dev/issue/60305 and https://go.dev/issue/60306.
