SCA: security update for ruby-saml (GHSA-jw9c-mfg7-9rx2)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416601

Description

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

 - The Ruby SAML library is for implementing the client side of a SAML authorization. Ruby-SAML in <= 12.2
 and 1.13.0 <= 1.16.0 does not properly verify the signature of the SAML Response. An unauthenticated
 attacker with access to any signed saml document (by the IdP) can thus forge a SAML Response/Assertion
 with arbitrary contents. This would allow the attacker to log in as arbitrary user within the vulnerable
 system. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.17.0 and 1.12.3. (CVE-2024-45409)
