How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 golang-src.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-src package and not the golang-src package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The "go get" implementation in Go 1.9.4, when the -insecure command-line option is used, does not validate the import path (get/vcs.go only checks for "://" anywhere in the string), which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via a crafted web site.
