Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Integrity Bypass: A window existed where VXLAN link creation occurred before iptables encryption rules were programmed, allowing cleartext packets to be accepted or transmitted, bypassing mandatory encryption.
Dependency Vulnerability: The Go compiler version was vulnerable; bumping to 1.12.8 included security fixes. Unpatched dependencies expose the runtime to known exploits.
Dependency Pinning: The Go base image was pinned to 1.5.3, which had a known vulnerability; bumping to 1.5.4 patched it. Stale pins in build images propagate vulnerabilities.
