SCA: security update for org.hyperledger.besu:evm (GHSA-4456-w38r-m53x)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409919

Description

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

 - Besu is a Java-based Ethereum client. In versions newer than 22.1.3 and prior to 22.7.1, Besu is subject
 to an Incorrect Conversion between Numeric Types. An error in 32 bit signed and unsigned types in the
 calculation of available gas in the CALL operations (including DELEGATECALL) results in incorrect gas
 being passed into called contracts and incorrect gas being returned after call execution. Where the amount
 of gas makes a difference in the success or failure, or if the gas is a negative 64 bit value, the
 execution will result in a different state root than expected, resulting in a consensus failure in
 networks with multiple EVM implementations. In networks with a single EVM implementation this can be used
 to execute with significantly more gas than then transaction requested, possibly exceeding gas
 limitations. This issue is patched in version 22.7.1. As a workaround, reverting to version 22.1.3 or
 earlier will prevent incorrect execution. (CVE-2022-36025)
