SCA: security update for github.com/containerd/imgcrypt (GHSA-8v99-48m9-c8pm)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 412859

Description

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

 - The imgcrypt library provides API exensions for containerd to support encrypted container images and
 implements the ctd-decoder command line tool for use by containerd to decrypt encrypted container images.
 The imgcrypt function `CheckAuthorization` is supposed to check whether the current used is authorized to
 access an encrypted image and prevent the user from running an image that another user previously
 decrypted on the same system. In versions prior to 1.1.4, a failure occurs when an image with a
 ManifestList is used and the architecture of the local host is not the first one in the ManifestList. Only
 the first architecture in the list was tested, which may not have its layers available locally since it
 could not be run on the host architecture. Therefore, the verdict on unavailable layers was that the image
 could be run anticipating that image run failure would occur later due to the layers not being available.
 However, this verdict to allow the image to run enabled other architectures in the ManifestList to run an
 image without providing keys if that image had previously been decrypted. A patch has been applied to
 imgcrypt 1.1.4. Workarounds may include usage of different namespaces for each remote user.
