low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 454973

Description

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

 - Gitk is a Tcl/Tk based Git history browser. Starting with 1.7.0, when a user clones an untrusted
 repository and runs gitk without additional command arguments, files for which the user has write
 permission can be created and truncated. The option Support per-file encoding must have been enabled
 before in Gitk's Preferences. This option is disabled by default. The same happens when Show origin of
 this line is used in the main window (regardless of whether Support per-file encoding is enabled or not).
 This vulnerability is fixed in 2.43.7, 2.44.4, 2.45.4, 2.46.4, 2.47.3, 2.48.2, 2.49.1, and 2.50.1.
