SCA: security update for org.springframework:spring-core (GHSA-ffvq-7w96-97p7)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414483

Description

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

 - Spring Framework, version 5.1, versions 5.0.x prior to 5.0.10, versions 4.3.x prior to 4.3.20, and older
 unsupported versions on the 4.2.x branch provide support for range requests when serving static resources
 through the ResourceHttpRequestHandler, or starting in 5.0 when an annotated controller returns an
 org.springframework.core.io.Resource. A malicious user (or attacker) can add a range header with a high
 number of ranges, or with wide ranges that overlap, or both, for a denial of service attack. This
 vulnerability affects applications that depend on either spring-webmvc or spring-webflux. Such
 applications must also have a registration for serving static resources (e.g. JS, CSS, images, and
 others), or have an annotated controller that returns an org.springframework.core.io.Resource. Spring Boot
 applications that depend on spring-boot-starter-web or spring-boot-starter-webflux are ready to serve
 static resources out of the box and are therefore vulnerable. (CVE-2018-15756)
