Issue Overview:

The x/crypto/ssh package before 0.0.0-20211202192323-5770296d904e of golang.org/x/crypto allows an attacker to panic an SSH server. (CVE-2021-43565)

http2/hpack: avoid quadratic complexity in hpack decoding (CVE-2022-41723)

Templates did not properly consider backticks (`) as Javascript string delimiters, and as such did
not escape them as expected. Backticks are used, since ES6, for JS template literals. If a template
contained a Go template action within a Javascript template literal, the contents of the action could
be used to terminate the literal, injecting arbitrary Javascript code into the Go template. (CVE-2023-24538)
