SCA: security update for github.com/multiversx/mx-chain-go (GHSA-j494-7x2v-vvvp)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416117

Description

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

 - mx-chain-go is the official implementation of the MultiversX blockchain protocol, written in golang. When
 executing a relayed transaction, if the inner transaction failed, it would have increased the inner
 transaction's sender account nonce. This could have contributed to a limited DoS attack on a targeted
 account. The fix is a breaking change so a new flag `RelayedNonceFixEnableEpoch` was needed. This was a
 strict processing issue while validating blocks on a chain. This vulnerability has been patched in version
 1.4.17. (CVE-2023-34458)
