AI-suggested
If you cannot patch yet, users should consider avoiding use of affected Go versions for compiling sensitive or critical applications. Monitoring the official Go project advisories for updates is recommended.
Description
Arithmetic over induction variables in loops were not correctly checked for underflow or overflow. As a result, the compiler would allow for invalid indexing to occur at runtime, potentially leading to memory corruption.
