Summary

| State | PUBLISHED |
| Assigner | Go |
| Source Priority | CVE Program / NVD first with legacy fallback |
| Published | 2026-04-08 02:16:03 UTC |
| Updated | 2026-04-16 19:17:18 UTC |
| Description | The compiler is meant to unwrap pointers which are the operands of a memory move; a no-op interface conversion prevented the compiler from making the correct determination about non-overlapping moves, potentially leading to memory corruption at runtime. |
