SCA: security update for ckan (GHSA-446m-hmmm-hm8m)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 409922

Description

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

 - CKAN is an open-source data management system for powering data hubs and data portals. Multiple
 vulnerabilities have been discovered in Ckan which may lead to remote code execution. An arbitrary file
 write in `resource_create` and `package_update` actions, using the `ResourceUploader` object. Also
 reachable via `package_create`, `package_revise`, and `package_patch` via calls to `package_update`.
 Remote code execution via unsafe pickle loading, via Beaker's session store when configured to use the
 file session store backend. Potential DOS due to lack of a length check on the resource id. Information
 disclosure: A user with permission to create a resource can access any other resource on the system if
 they know the id, even if they don't have access to it. Resource overwrite: A user with permission to
 create a resource can overwrite any resource if they know the id, even if they don't have access to it. A
 user with permissions to create or edit a dataset can upload a resource with a specially crafted id to
 write the uploaded file in an arbitrary location. This can be leveraged to Remote Code Execution via
 Beaker's insecure pickle loading. All the above listed vulnerabilities have been fixed in CKAN 2.9.9 and
 CKAN 2.10.1. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for these issues.
 (CVE-2023-32321)
