SCA: security update for io.quarkus:quarkus-rest (GHSA-5rfx-cp42-p624)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436601

Description

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

- Quarkus is a Cloud Native, (Linux) Container First framework for writing Java applications. Prior to
versions 3.31.0, 3.27.2, and 3.20.5, a vulnerability exists in the HTTP layer of Quarkus REST related to
response handling. When a response is being written, the framework waits for previously written response
chunks to be fully transmitted before proceeding. If the client connection is dropped during this waiting
period, the associated worker thread is never released and becomes permanently blocked. Under sustained or
repeated occurrences, this can exhaust the available worker threads, leading to degraded performance, or
complete unavailability of the application. This issue has been patched in versions 3.31.0, 3.27.2, and
3.20.5. A workaround involves implementing a health check that monitors the status and saturation of the
worker thread pool to detect abnormal thread retention early. (CVE-2025-66560)
