Description

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

- The go command may execute arbitrary code at build time when using cgo. This may occur when running "go
get" on a malicious module, or when running any other command which builds untrusted code. This is can by
triggered by linker flags, specified via a "#cgo LDFLAGS" directive. Flags containing embedded spaces are
