SCA: security update for github.com/cilium/cilium (GHSA-3wwx-63fv-pfq6)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409747

Description

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

- Cilium is a networking, observability, and security solution with an eBPF-based dataplane. Starting in
version 1.14.0 and prior to versions 1.14.16 and 1.15.10, a policy rule denying a prefix that is broader
than `/32` may be ignored if there is a policy rule referencing a more narrow prefix (`CIDRSet` or
`toFQDN`) and this narrower policy rule specifies either `enableDefaultDeny: false` or `- toEntities:
all`. Note that a rule specifying `toEntities: world` or `toEntities: 0.0.0.0/0` is insufficient, it must
be to entity `all`.This issue has been patched in Cilium v1.14.16 and v1.15.10. As this issue only affects
policies using `enableDefaultDeny: false` or that set `toEntities` to `all`, some workarounds are
available. For users with policies using `enableDefaultDeny: false`, remove this configuration option and
explicitly define any allow rules required. For users with egress policies that explicitly specify
`toEntities: all`, use `toEntities: world`. (CVE-2024-47825)
