SCA: security update for salt (GHSA-qcr3-hr2f-6557)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 432415

Description

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

 - An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt in versions before 3002.8, 3003.4, 3004.1. When configured as a
 Master-of-Masters, with a publisher_acl, if a user configured in the publisher_acl targets any minion
 connected to the Syndic, the Salt Master incorrectly interpreted no valid targets as valid, allowing
 configured users to target any of the minions connected to the syndic with their configured commands. This
 requires a syndic master combined with publisher_acl configured on the Master-of-Masters, allowing users
 specified in the publisher_acl to bypass permissions, publishing authorized commands to any configured
 minion. (CVE-2022-22941)
