CVE-2020-29509  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Ubuntu:16.04 golang-1.13.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream golang-1.13 package and not the golang-1.13 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 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.
