Golang: stdlib: security update to 1.6.3

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 428499

Description

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

- The net/http package in Go through 1.6 does not attempt to address RFC 3875 section 4.1.18 namespace
conflicts and therefore does not protect CGI applications from the presence of untrusted client data in
the HTTP_PROXY environment variable, which might allow remote attackers to redirect a CGI application's
outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request, aka an
"httpoxy" issue. (CVE-2016-5386)
