Description

Three issues have been found in golang-1.8, a Go programming language compiler version 1.8

CVE-2020-15586 Using the 100-continue in HTTP headers received by a net/http/Server can lead to a data race involving the connection's buffered writer.

CVE-2020-16845 Certain invalid inputs to ReadUvarint or ReadVarint could cause those functions to read an unlimited number of bytes from the ByteReader argument before returning an error.
