SCA: security update for github.com/anchore/stereoscope (GHSA-hpxr-w9w7-g4gv)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415881

Description

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

 - stereoscope is a go library for processing container images and simulating a squash filesystem. Prior to
 version 0.0.1, it is possible to craft an OCI tar archive that, when stereoscope attempts to unarchive the
 contents, will result in writing to paths outside of the unarchive temporary directory. Specifically, use
 of `github.com/anchore/stereoscope/pkg/file.UntarToDirectory()` function, the
 `github.com/anchore/stereoscope/pkg/image/oci.TarballImageProvider` struct, or the higher level
 `github.com/anchore/stereoscope/pkg/image.Image.Read()` function express this vulnerability. As a
 workaround, if you are using the OCI archive as input into stereoscope then you can switch to using an OCI
 layout by unarchiving the tar archive and provide the unarchived directory to stereoscope.
 (CVE-2024-24579)
