Package        : golang-1.7
CVE ID         : CVE-2018-7187 CVE-2019-6486

A vulnerability was discovered in the implementation of the P-521 and
P-384 elliptic curves, which could result in denial of service and in
some cases key recovery.

In addition this update fixes a vulnerability in "go get", which could
result in the execution of arbitrary shell commands.

For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.7.4-2+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your golang-1.7 packages.

For the detailed security status of golang-1.7 please refer to
its security tracker page at:
