Understand it, then run it

Go 1.23.6 brings security fixes to the crypto/elliptic package. The crypto/elliptic package implements elliptic‑curve cryptography, which is used in many protocols such as TLS. Security fixes mean that the implementation has been patched to remove vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. No new language features or APIs are added, so existing code continues to compile unchanged.
