How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:8 golang-docs.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-docs package and not the golang-docs package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The encoding/xml package in Go (all versions) does not correctly preserve the semantics of attribute namespace prefixes during tokenization round-trips, which allows an attacker to craft inputs that behave in conflicting ways during different stages of processing in affected downstream applications.
