There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- A bug in the standard library ScalarMult implementation of curve P-256 for amd64 architectures in Go
before 1.7.6 and 1.8.x before 1.8.2 causes incorrect results to be generated for specific input points. An
