SCA: security update for github.com/envoyproxy/envoy (GHSA-rj35-4m94-77jh)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436268

Description

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

- Envoy is a high-performance edge/middle/service proxy. In 1.33.12, 1.34.10, 1.35.6, 1.36.2, and earlier,
when Envoy is configured in TCP proxy mode to handle CONNECT requests, it accepts client data before
issuing a 2xx response and forwards that data to the upstream TCP connection. If a forwarding proxy
upstream from Envoy then responds with a non-2xx status, this can cause a de-synchronized CONNECT tunnel
state. By default Envoy continues to allow early CONNECT data to avoid disrupting existing deployments.
The envoy.reloadable_features.reject_early_connect_data runtime flag can be set to reject CONNECT requests
that send data before a 2xx response when intermediaries upstream from Envoy may reject establishment of a
CONNECT tunnel. (CVE-2025-64763)
