HTTPoxy vulnerability
CVE-2016-5386 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2016-5386): The net/http package in Go through 1.6 does not attempt to address RFC 3875 section 4.1.18 namespace conflicts and therefore does not protect CGI applications from the presence of untrusted client data in the HTTP_PROXY environment variable, which might allow remote attackers to redirect a CGI application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request, aka an "httpoxy" issue.
Upstream patch: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/cad4e97af8f2e0b9f09b97f67fb3a89ced2e9021
It looks like go1.6.3 fixes this, but we are close to a go 1.7 release as well. @security: Do you want me to bump 1.6.3 or wait for 1.7? Also, will this be a fast stable?
Go-1.6.3 is in the tree, marked ~arch for now. let me know if we should fast stable.
@arches, please stabilize: =dev-lang/go-1.6.3
amd64 done.
