Golang: stdlib: security update to 1.20.9stdlib: security update to 1.21.2

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 428504

Description

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

- Line directives ("//line") can be used to bypass the restrictions on "//go:cgo_" directives, allowing
blocked linker and compiler flags to be passed during compilation. This can result in unexpected execution
of arbitrary code when running "go build". The line directive requires the absolute path of the file in
which the directive lives, which makes exploiting this issue significantly more complex. (CVE-2023-39323)
