The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:
golang (1.6.3). (BZ#1346331)

Security Fix(es):

  * An input-validation flaw was discovered in the Go programming language
built in CGI implementation, which set the environment variable
'HTTP_PROXY' using the incoming 'Proxy' HTTP-request header. The
environment variable 'HTTP_PROXY' is used by numerous web clients,
including Go's net/http package, to specify a proxy server to use for HTTP
and, in some cases, HTTPS requests. This meant that when a CGI-based web
application ran, an attacker could specify a proxy server which the
application then used for subsequent outgoing requests, allowing a
man-in-the-middle attack. (CVE-2016-5386)

Red Hat would like to thank Scott Geary (VendHQ) for reporting this issue.");
