Description

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

 - Pomerium is an open source identity-aware access proxy. Envoy, which Pomerium is based on, contains two
 authorization related vulnerabilities CVE-2021-32777 and CVE-2021-32779. This may lead to incorrect
 routing or authorization policy decisions. With specially crafted requests, incorrect authorization or
 routing decisions may be made by Pomerium. Pomerium v0.14.8 and v0.15.1 contain an upgraded envoy binary
