SCA: security update for github.com/golang-fips/openssl (GHSA-3h3x-2hwv-hr52)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 447854

Description

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

 - A vulnerability was found in Golang FIPS OpenSSL. This flaw allows a malicious user to randomly cause an
 uninitialized buffer length variable with a zeroed buffer to be returned in FIPS mode. It may also be
 possible to force a false positive match between non-equal hashes when comparing a trusted computed hmac
 sum to an untrusted input sum if an attacker can send a zeroed buffer in place of a pre-computed sum. It
 is also possible to force a derived key to be all zeros instead of an unpredictable value. This may have
 follow-on implications for the Go TLS stack. (CVE-2024-9355)

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
