SCA: security update for github.com/cilium/cilium (GHSA-pwqm-x5x6-5586)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417751

Description

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

 - Cilium is a networking, observability, and security solution with an eBPF-based dataplane. Users of IPsec
 transparent encryption in Cilium may be vulnerable to cryptographic attacks that render the transparent
 encryption ineffective. In particular, Cilium is vulnerable to chosen plaintext, key recovery, replay
 attacks by a man-in-the-middle attacker. These attacks are possible due to an ESP sequence number
 collision when multiple nodes are configured with the same key. Fixed versions of Cilium use unique keys
 for each IPsec tunnel established between nodes, resolving all of the above attacks. This vulnerability is
 fixed in 1.13.13, 1.14.9, and 1.15.3. (CVE-2024-28860)
