MGASA-2020-0424 - Updated golang packages fix a security vulnerability

Publication date: 15 Nov 2020
URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2020-0424.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 7
CVE: CVE-2020-24553

Description:
A flaw was found in Go standard library packages. Both the net/http/cgi and
net/http/fcgi packages use a default Content-Type response header value of
"text/html", rather than "text/plain". An attacker could exploit this in
applications using these packages by uploading crafted files, allowing for a
cross-site scripting attack (XSS) (CVE-2020-24553).
