SCA: security update for github.com/quic-go/quic-go (GHSA-3q6m-v84f-6p9h)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409647

Description

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

 - quic-go is an implementation of the QUIC protocol in Go. Starting in version 0.37.0 and prior to version
 0.37.3, by serializing an ACK frame after the CRYTPO that allows a node to complete the handshake, a
 remote node could trigger a nil pointer dereference (leading to a panic) when the node attempted to drop
 the Handshake packet number space. An attacker can bring down a quic-go node with very minimal effort.
 Completing the QUIC handshake only requires sending and receiving a few packets. Version 0.37.3 contains a
 patch. Versions before 0.37.0 are not affected. (CVE-2023-46239)
