Chainguard: multiple nodejs-16 packages: security update to 16.20.2-r11

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477885

Description

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

 - The Node.js Permission Model does not clarify in the documentation that wildcards should be only used as
 the last character of a file path. For example: ``` --allow-fs-read=/home/node/.ssh/*.pub ``` will ignore
 `pub` and give access to everything after `.ssh/`. This misleading documentation affects all users using
 the experimental permission model in Node.js 20 and Node.js 21. Please note that at the time this CVE was
 issued, the permission model is an experimental feature of Node.js. (CVE-2024-21890)

Solution

Update the nodejs-16 library and its related packages to version 16.20.2-r11 or later.
