SCA: security update for org.apache.solr:solr-core (GHSA-f553-j2gv-g5r9)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414281

Description

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

 - Apache Solr's Kerberos plugin can be configured to use delegation tokens, which allows an application to
 reuse the authentication of an end-user or another application. There are two issues with this
 functionality (when using SecurityAwareZkACLProvider type of ACL provider e.g. SaslZkACLProvider).
 Firstly, access to the security configuration can be leaked to users other than the solr super user.
 Secondly, malicious users can exploit this leaked configuration for privilege escalation to further
 expose/modify private data and/or disrupt operations in the Solr cluster. The vulnerability is fixed from
 Apache Solr 6.6.1 onwards. (CVE-2017-9803)
