Hello gophers, We have just released Go versions 1.16.6 and 1.15.14, minor point releases.
These minor releases include a security fix according to the new security policy (#44918 <https://golang.org/issue/44918>). crypto/tls clients can panic when provided a certificate of the wrong type for the negotiated parameters. net/http clients performing HTTPS requests are also affected. The panic can be triggered by an attacker in a privileged network position without access to the server certificate's private key, as long as a trusted ECDSA or Ed25519 certificate for the server exists (or can be issued), or the client is configured with Config.InsecureSkipVerify. Clients that disable all TLS_RSA cipher suites (that is, TLS 1.0–1.2 cipher suites without ECDHE), as well as TLS 1.3-only clients, are unaffected. This is issue #47143 <https://golang.org/issue/47143> and CVE-2021-34558. Thanks to Imre Rad for reporting this issue.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the releases. Cheers, Dmitri, Filippo, and Alex for the Go team -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
