Golang: stdlib: security update to 1.20.0
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 428498
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Before Go 1.20, the RSA based TLS key exchanges used the math/big library, which is not constant time. RSA
blinding was applied to prevent timing attacks, but analysis shows this may not have been fully effective.
In particular it appears as if the removal of PKCS#1 padding may leak timing information, which in turn
could be used to recover session key bits. In Go 1.20, the crypto/tls library switched to a fully constant
time RSA implementation, which we do not believe exhibits any timing side channels. (CVE-2023-45287)
