SCA: security update for org.apache.dubbo:dubbo (GHSA-r577-4hq7-73qh)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 418494

Description

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

 - Apache Dubbo supports various rules to support configuration override or traffic routing (called routing
 in Dubbo). These rules are loaded into the configuration center (eg: Zookeeper, Nacos, ...) and retrieved
 by the customers when making a request in order to find the right endpoint. When parsing these YAML rules,
 Dubbo customers will use SnakeYAML library to load the rules which by default will enable calling
 arbitrary constructors. An attacker with access to the configuration center he will be able to poison the
 rule so when retrieved by the consumers, it will get RCE on all of them. This was fixed in Dubbo 2.7.13,
 3.0.2 (CVE-2021-36162)
