    CVE-2018-7187

    Summary: Updated golang packages fix security vulnerability

    Details: A flaw was found in Go Lang. 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 (CVE-2018-7187)
