SCA: security update for github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge (GHSA-8f4f-v9x5-cg6j)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412614

Description

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

 - KubeEdge is built upon Kubernetes and extends native containerized application orchestration and device
 management to hosts at the Edge. In affected versions a malicious message can crash CloudCore by
 triggering a nil-pointer dereference in the UDS Server. Since the UDS Server only communicates with the
 CSI Driver on the cloud side, the attack is limited to the local host network. As such, an attacker would
 already need to be an authenticated user of the Cloud. Additionally it will be affected only when users
 turn on the unixsocket switch in the config file cloudcore.yaml. This bug has been fixed in Kubeedge
 1.11.0, 1.10.1, and 1.9.3. Users should update to these versions to resolve the issue. Users unable to
 upgrade should sisable the unixsocket switch of CloudHub in the config file cloudcore.yaml.
 (CVE-2022-31076)
