SCA: security update for golang.org/x/net (GHSA-4374-p667-p6c8)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 409884

Description

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

 - A malicious HTTP/2 client which rapidly creates requests and immediately resets them can cause excessive
 server resource consumption. While the total number of requests is bounded by the
 http2.Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting, resetting an in-progress request allows the attacker to create
 a new request while the existing one is still executing. With the fix applied, HTTP/2 servers now bound
 the number of simultaneously executing handler goroutines to the stream concurrency limit
 (MaxConcurrentStreams). New requests arriving when at the limit (which can only happen after the client
 has reset an existing, in-flight request) will be queued until a handler exits. If the request queue grows
 too large, the server will terminate the connection. This issue is also fixed in golang.org/x/net/http2
 for users manually configuring HTTP/2. The default stream concurrency limit is 250 streams (requests) per
 HTTP/2 connection. This value may be adjusted using the golang.org/x/net/http2 package; see the
 Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting and the ConfigureServer function. (CVE-2023-39325)
