SCA: security update for github.com/notaryproject/notation-go (GHSA-87x9-7grx-m28v)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412525

Description

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

 - notation-go is a collection of libraries for supporting Notation sign, verify, push, and pull of oci
 artifacts. Prior to version 1.0.0-rc.3, notation-go users will find their application using excessive
 memory when verifying signatures. The application will be killed, and thus availability is impacted. The
 problem has been patched in the release v1.0.0-rc.3. Some workarounds are available. Users can review
 their own trust policy file and check if the identity string contains `=#`. Meanwhile, users should only
 put trusted certificates in their trust stores referenced by their own trust policy files, and make sure
 the `authenticity` validation is set to `enforce`. (CVE-2023-25656)
