SCA: security update for org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-common (GHSA-gx2c-fvhc-ph4j)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415363

Description

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

 - In Apache Hadoop, The unTar function uses unTarUsingJava function on Windows and the built-in tar utility
 on Unix and other OSes. As a result, a TAR entry may create a symlink under the expected extraction
 directory which points to an external directory. A subsequent TAR entry may extract an arbitrary file into
 the external directory using the symlink name. This however would be caught by the same targetDirPath
 check on Unix because of the getCanonicalPath call. However on Windows, getCanonicalPath doesn't resolve
 symbolic links, which bypasses the check. unpackEntries during TAR extraction follows symbolic links which
 allows writing outside expected base directory on Windows. This was addressed in Apache Hadoop 3.2.3
 (CVE-2022-26612)
