SCA: security update for com.amazon.ion:ion-java (GHSA-264p-99wq-f4j6)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 408722

Description

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

 - Amazon Ion is a Java implementation of the Ion data notation. Prior to version 1.10.5, a potential denial-
 of-service issue exists in `ion-java` for applications that use `ion-java` to deserialize Ion text encoded
 data, or deserialize Ion text or binary encoded data into the `IonValue` model and then invoke certain
 `IonValue` methods on that in-memory representation. An actor could craft Ion data that, when loaded by
 the affected application and/or processed using the `IonValue` model, results in a `StackOverflowError`
 originating from the `ion-java` library. The patch is included in `ion-java` 1.10.5. As a workaround, do
 not load data which originated from an untrusted source or that could have been tampered with.
 (CVE-2024-21634)
