SCA: security update for github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk (GHSA-2p6r-37p9-89p2)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 409007

Description

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

 - The Cosmos-SDK is a framework for building blockchain applications in Golang. Affected versions of the SDK
 were vulnerable to a consensus halt due to non-deterministic behaviour in a ValidateBasic method in the
 x/authz module. The MsgGrant of the x/authz module contains a Grant field which includes a user-defined
 expiration time for when the authorization grant expires. In Grant.ValidateBasic(), that time is compared
 to the node’s local clock time. Any chain running an affected version of the SDK with the authz module
 enabled could be halted by anyone with the ability to send transactions on that chain. Recovery would
 require applying the patch and rolling back the latest block. Users are advised to update to version
 0.44.2. (CVE-2021-41135)
