There is no fixed version for Centos:8 golang-tests.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-tests package and not the golang-tests 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 element 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.
