Echo: grpc: security update to 1.51.1-6+e1

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 457211

Description

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

 - It's possible for a gRPC client communicating with a HTTP/2 proxy to poison the HPACK table between the
 proxy and the backend such that other clients see failed requests. It's also possible to use this
 vulnerability to leak other clients HTTP header keys, but not values. This occurs because the error status
 for a misencoded header is not cleared between header reads, resulting in subsequent (incrementally
 indexed) added headers in the first request being poisoned until cleared from the HPACK table. Please
 update to a fixed version of gRPC as soon as possible. This bug has been fixed in 1.58.3, 1.59.5, 1.60.2,
 1.61.3, 1.62.3, 1.63.2, 1.64.3, 1.65.4. (CVE-2024-7246)

Solution

Update the grpc library and its related packages to version 1.51.1-6+e1 or later.
