Golang syscall.StartProcess Injection Vulnerability

Description

Due to unsanitized NUL values, attackers may be able to maliciously set environment variables on Windows. In syscall.StartProcess and os/exec.Cmd, invalid environment variable values containing NUL values are not properly checked for. A malicious environment variable value can exploit this behavior to set a value for a different environment variable. For example, the environment variable string //'A=B\x00C=D' sets the variables 'A=B' and 'C=D'.
