SCA: security update for github.com/cilium/cilium (GHSA-6p8v-8cq8-v2r3)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411554

Description

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

 - Cilium is open source software for providing and securing network connectivity and loadbalancing between
 application workloads. Cilium prior to versions 1.9.16, 1.10.11, and 1.11.15 contains an incorrect default
 permissions vulnerability. Operating Systems with users belonging to the group ID 1000 can access the API
 of Cilium via Unix domain socket available on the host where Cilium is running. This could allow malicious
 users to compromise integrity as well as system availability on that host. The problem has been fixed and
 the patch is available in versions 1.9.16, 1.10.11, and 1.11.5. A potential workaround is to modify
 Cilium's DaemonSet to run with a certain command, which can be found in the GitHub Security Advisory for
 this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-29178)
