SCA: security update for github.com/sylabs/sif (GHSA-4gh8-x3vv-phhg)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410176

Description

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

 - SIF is an open source implementation of the Singularity Container Image Format. The `siftool new` command
 and func siftool.New() produce predictable UUID identifiers due to insecure randomness in the version of
 the `github.com/satori/go.uuid` module used as a dependency. A patch is available in version >= v1.2.3 of
 the module. Users are encouraged to upgrade. As a workaround, users passing CreateInfo struct should
 ensure the `ID` field is generated using a version of `github.com/satori/go.uuid` that is not vulnerable
 to this issue. (CVE-2021-29499)
