So.... an application acts differently if it is cross-compiled? And if there's a vuln in the go resolver, binaries are "maybe" vulnerable, depending on whether they were cross-compiled or not?


I'm not sure why you were downvoted. In an ideal world, the behavior of the native Go resolver and the host resolver should be the same, but in the real world they might behave differently and might have different bugs. The nice thing about the native Go resolver is that it's written in a memory safe language which prohibits bugs like these.
