Two issues have been found in golang-1.7, a Go programming language compiler version 1.7

• 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.

  For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.7.4-2+deb9u2.
