CVE-2020-29510  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:9 golang-1.8.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-1.8 package and not the golang-1.8 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

The encoding/xml package in Go versions 1.15 and earlier does not correctly preserve the semantics of directives 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.
