   [security] Go 1.21.4 and Go 1.20.11 are released
   
   Hello gophers,
   
   We have just released Go versions 1.21.4 and 1.20.11, minor point releases.
   
   These minor releases include 2 security fixes following the security policy:
   
   - path/filepath: recognize `\??\` as a Root Local Device path prefix.
   
     On Windows, a path beginning with `\??\` is a Root Local Device path equivalent
     to a path beginning with `\\?\`. Paths with a `\??\` prefix may be used to
     access arbitrary locations on the system. For example, the path `\??\c:\x`
     is equivalent to the more common path c:\x.
   
     The filepath package did not recognize paths with a `\??\` prefix as special.
   
     Clean could convert a rooted path such as `\a\..\??\b` into
     the root local device path `\??\b`. It will now convert this
     path into `.\??\b`.
   
     `IsAbs` did not report paths beginning with `\??\` as absolute.
     It now does so.
   
     VolumeName now reports the `\??\` prefix as a volume name.
   
     `Join(`\`, `??`, `b`)` could convert a seemingly innocent
     sequence of path elements into the root local device path
     `\??\b`. It will now convert this to `\.\??\b`.
   
     This is CVE-2023-45283 and https://go.dev/issue/63713.
   
   - path/filepath: recognize device names with trailing spaces and superscripts
   
     The `IsLocal` function did not correctly detect reserved names in some cases:
   
     - reserved names followed by spaces, such as "COM1 ".
     - "COM" or "LPT" followed by a superscript 1, 2, or 3.
   
     `IsLocal` now correctly reports these names as non-local.
   
     This is CVE-2023-45284 and https://go.dev/issue/63713.

2. update to go1.20.12, test go1.21.5 …

   go1.20.12 (released 2023-12-05) includes security fixes to the go command,
   and the net/http and path/filepath packages, as well as bug fixes to the
   compiler and the go command. See the Go 1.20.12 milestone on our issue
   tracker for details:

   from the security mailing:
   
   [security] Go 1.21.5 and Go 1.20.12 are released
   
   Hello gophers,
   
   We have just released Go versions 1.21.5 and 1.20.12, minor point releases.
   
   These minor releases include 3 security fixes following the security policy:
   
   - net/http: limit chunked data overhead
   
     A malicious HTTP sender can use chunk extensions to cause a receiver
     reading from a request or response body to read many more bytes from
     the network than are in the body.
   
     A malicious HTTP client can further exploit this to cause a server to
     automatically read a large amount of data (up to about 1GiB) when a
     handler fails to read the entire body of a request.
   
     Chunk extensions are a little-used HTTP feature which permit including
     additional metadata in a request or response body sent using the chunked
     encoding. The net/http chunked encoding reader discards this metadata.
     A sender can exploit this by inserting a large metadata segment with
     each byte transferred. The chunk reader now produces an error if the
     ratio of real body to encoded bytes grows too small.
   
     Thanks to Bartek Nowotarski for reporting this issue.
   
     This is CVE-2023-39326 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/64433.
   
   - cmd/go: go get may unexpectedly fallback to insecure git
   
     Using go get to fetch a module with the ".git" suffix may unexpectedly
     fallback to the insecure "git://" protocol if the module is unavailable
     via the secure "https://" and "git+ssh://" protocols, even if GOINSECURE
     is not set for said module. This only affects users who are not using
     the module proxy and are fetching modules directly (i.e. GOPROXY=off).
   
     Thanks to David Leadbeater for reporting this issue.
   
     This is CVE-2023-45285 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/63845.
   
   - path/filepath: retain trailing \ when cleaning paths like \\?\c:\
   
     Go 1.20.11 and Go 1.21.4 inadvertently changed the definition of the
     volume name in Windows paths starting with \\?\, resulting in
     filepath.Clean(\\?\c:\) returning \\?\c: rather than \\?\c:\ (among
     other effects). The previous behavior has been restored.
   
     This is an update to CVE-2023-45283 and Go issue https://go.dev/issue/64028.
