SCA: security update for mellium.im/sasl (GHSA-gvfj-fxx3-j323)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415310

Description

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

- An issue was discovered in Mellium mellium.im/sasl before 0.3.1. When performing SCRAM-based SASL
authentication, if the remote end advertises support for channel binding, no random nonce is generated
(instead, the nonce is empty). This causes authentication to fail in the best case, but (if paired with a
remote end that does not validate the length of the nonce) could lead to insufficient randomness being
used during authentication. (CVE-2022-48195)
