Debian LTS Advisory DLA-2443-1 presents vital patches for curl, tackling significant vulnerabilities associated with CVE-2021-22898.
golang-go.crypto was recently updated with a fix for CVE-2019-11840

Summary

CVE-2019-11840

An issue was discovered in supplementary Go cryptography libraries, aka
golang-googlecode-go-crypto. If more than 256 GiB of keystream is
generated, or if the counter otherwise grows greater than 32 bits, the amd64
implementation will first generate incorrect output, and then cycle back to
previously generated keystream. Repeated keystream bytes can lead to loss of
confidentiality in encryption applications, or to predictability in CSPRNG
applications.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version3
0.0.7-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your obfs4proxy packages.
