Golang: stdlib: security update to 1.19.10stdlib: security update to 1.20.5

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 428525

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- On Unix platforms, the Go runtime does not behave differently when a binary is run with the setuid/setgid
bits. This can be dangerous in certain cases, such as when dumping memory state, or assuming the status of
standard i/o file descriptors. If a setuid/setgid binary is executed with standard I/O file descriptors
closed, opening any files can result in unexpected content being read or written with elevated privileges.
Similarly, if a setuid/setgid program is terminated, either via panic or signal, it may leak the contents
of its registers. (CVE-2023-29403)
