Golang: stdlib: security update to 1.10.6stdlib: security update to 1.11.3
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 428541
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- In Go before 1.10.6 and 1.11.x before 1.11.3, the "go get" command is vulnerable to directory traversal
when executed with the import path of a malicious Go package which contains curly braces (both '{' and '}'
characters). Specifically, it is only vulnerable in GOPATH mode, but not in module mode (the distinction
is documented at https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Module_aware_go_get). The attacker can cause an arbitrary
filesystem write, which can lead to code execution. (CVE-2018-16874)
