SCA: security update for github.com/cilium/cilium (GHSA-24m5-r6hv-ccgp)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 408669

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Cilium is a networking, observability, and security solution with an eBPF-based dataplane. In Cilium
 clusters where Cilium's Layer 7 proxy has been disabled, creating workloads with `policy.cilium.io/proxy-
 visibility` annotations (in Cilium >= v1.13) or `io.cilium.proxy-visibility` annotations (in Cilium <=
 v1.12) causes the Cilium agent to segfault on the node to which the workload is assigned. Existing traffic
 on the affected node will continue to flow, but the Cilium agent on the node will not able to process
 changes to workloads running on the node. This will also prevent workloads from being able to start on the
 affected node. The denial of service will be limited to the node on which the workload is scheduled,
 however an attacker may be able to schedule workloads on the node of their choosing, which could lead to
 targeted attacks. This issue has been resolved in Cilium versions 1.14.2, 1.13.7, and 1.12.14. Users
 unable to upgrade can avoid this denial of service attack by enabling the Layer 7 proxy. (CVE-2023-41332)
