SCA: security update for github.com/crewjam/saml (GHSA-5mqj-xc49-246p)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410930

Description

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

 - The crewjam/saml go library contains a partial implementation of the SAML standard in golang. Prior to
 version 0.4.13, the package's use of `flate.NewReader` does not limit the size of the input. The user can
 pass more than 1 MB of data in the HTTP request to the processing functions, which will be decompressed
 server-side using the Deflate algorithm. Therefore, after repeating the same request multiple times, it is
 possible to achieve a reliable crash since the operating system kills the process. This issue is patched
 in version 0.4.13. (CVE-2023-28119)
