Hello gophers,

We have just released Go versions 1.20.7 and 1.19.12, minor point releases.

These minor releases include 1 security fixes following the security policy 
<https://go.dev/security>:

-       crypto/tls: restrict RSA keys in certificates to <= 8192 bits

        Extremely large RSA keys in certificate chains can cause a client/server
        to expend significant CPU time verifying signatures. Limit this by
        restricting the size of RSA keys transmitted during handshakes to <=
        8192 bits.

        Based on a survey of publicly trusted RSA keys, there are currently only
        three certificates in circulation with keys larger than this, and all
        three appear to be test certificates that are not actively deployed. It
        is possible there are larger keys in use in private PKIs, but we target
        the web PKI, so causing breakage here in the interests of increasing the
        default safety of users of crypto/tls seems reasonable.

        Thanks to Mateusz Poliwczak for reporting this issue.
