Golang: stdlib: security update to 1.21.0-0

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 428483

Description

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

- Command go env is documented as outputting a shell script containing the Go environment. However, go env
doesn't sanitize values, so executing its output as a shell script can cause various bad bahaviors,
including executing arbitrary commands or inserting new environment variables. This issue is relatively
minor because, in general, if an attacker can set arbitrary environment variables on a system, they have
better attack vectors than making "go env" print them out. (CVE-2023-24531)
