SCA: security update for github.com/ElrondNetwork/elrond-go (GHSA-p228-4mrh-ww7r)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417203

Description

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

- Elrond-GO is a go implementation for the Elrond Network protocol. Versions prior to 1.3.50 are subject to
a processing issue where nodes are affected when trying to process a cross-shard relayed transaction with
a smart contract deploy transaction data. The problem was a bad correlation between the transaction caches
and the processing component. If the above-mentioned transaction was sent with more gas than required, the
smart contract result (SCR transaction) that should have returned the leftover gas, would have been
wrongly added to a cache that the processing unit did not consider. The node stopped notarizing metachain
blocks. The fix was actually to extend the SCR transaction search in all other caches if it wasn't found
in the correct (expected) sharded-cache. There are no known workarounds at this time. This issue has been
patched in version 1.3.50. (CVE-2022-46173)
