SCA: security update for github.com/spiffe/spire (GHSA-h746-rm5q-8mgq)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415552

Description

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

 - In SPIRE 0.8.1 through 0.8.4 and before versions 0.9.4, 0.10.2, 0.11.3 and 0.12.1, specially crafted
 requests to the FetchX509SVID RPC of SPIRE Server’s Legacy Node API can result in the possible issuance of
 an X.509 certificate with a URI SAN for a SPIFFE ID that the agent is not authorized to distribute. Proper
 controls are in place to require that the caller presents a valid agent certificate that is already
 authorized to issue at least one SPIFFE ID, and the requested SPIFFE ID belongs to the same trust domain,
 prior to being able to trigger this vulnerability. This issue has been fixed in SPIRE versions 0.8.5,
 0.9.4, 0.10.2, 0.11.3 and 0.12.1. (CVE-2021-27098)
