SCA: security update for github.com/cri-o/cri-o (GHSA-7p9f-6x8j-gxxp)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412170

Description

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

 - A vulnerability was found in CRI-O, where it can be requested to take a checkpoint archive of a container
 and later be asked to restore it. When it does that restoration, it attempts to restore the mounts from
 the restore archive instead of the pod request. As a result, the validations run on the pod spec,
 verifying that the pod has access to the mounts it specifies are not applicable to a restored container.
 This flaw allows a malicious user to trick CRI-O into restoring a pod that doesn't have access to host
 mounts. The user needs access to the kubelet or cri-o socket to call the restore endpoint and trigger the
 restore. (CVE-2024-8676)
