How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:9 golang-misc.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-misc package and not the golang-misc package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Line directives ("//line") can be used to bypass the restrictions on "//go:cgo_" directives, allowing blocked linker and compiler flags to be passed during compilation. This can result in unexpected execution of arbitrary code when running "go build". The line directive requires the absolute path of the file in which the directive lives, which makes exploiting this issue significantly more complex.
