Significant openSUSE upgrade for go1.11 tackles various security vulnerabilities with crucial patches.
An update that solves three vulnerabilities and has four fixes is now available

Description

This new package for go1.11 fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

- CVE-2018-16873: Fixed a remote code execution in go get, when executed

with the -u flag (bsc#1118897)

- CVE-2018-16874: Fixed an arbitrary filesystem write in go get, which

could lead to code execution (bsc#1118898)

- CVE-2018-16875: Fixed a Denial of Service in the crypto/x509 package

during certificate chain validation(bsc#1118899)

Non-security issues fixed:

- Fixed build error with PIE linker flags on ppc64le (bsc#1113978

bsc#1098017)

- Make profile.d/go.sh no longer set GOROOT=, in order to make switching

between versions no longer break. This ends up removing the need for

go.sh entirely (because GOPATH is also set automatically) (bsc#1119634)

The following tracked regression fix is included:

- Fix a regression that broke go get for import path patterns containing

"..." (bsc#1119706)
