SCA: security update for github.com/dexidp/dex (GHSA-gr79-9v6v-gc9r)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415273

Description

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

 - Dex is an identity service that uses OpenID Connect to drive authentication for other apps. Dex 2.37.0
 serves HTTPS with insecure TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1. `cmd/dex/serve.go` line 425 seemingly sets TLS 1.2 as
 minimum version, but the whole `tlsConfig` is ignored after `TLS cert reloader` was introduced in v2.37.0.
 Configured cipher suites are not respected either. This issue is fixed in Dex 2.38.0. (CVE-2024-23656)
