high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410204

Description

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

 - An issue was discovered in the Bouncy Castle Crypto Package For Java before BC TLS Java 1.0.19 (ships with
 BC Java 1.78, BC Java (LTS) 2.73.6) and before BC FIPS TLS Java 1.0.19. When endpoint identification is
 enabled in the BCJSSE and an SSL socket is created without an explicit hostname (as happens with
 HttpsURLConnection), hostname verification could be performed against a DNS-resolved IP address in some
 situations, opening up a possibility of DNS poisoning. (CVE-2024-34447)

Solution

Update the org.bouncycastle:bctls-fips library and its related packages to version 1.0.19 or later.
