Research direction

Start by identifying how the listed AWS Lambda Docker images are built and where golang.org/x/sys v0.21.0 enters them; the issue does not name repository files or tests. Verify the package version across the affected image tags, update it to v0.44.0, rebuild the images, and confirm a security scan no longer reports CVE-2026-39824.
