SCA: security update for tzinfo (GHSA-5cm2-9h8c-rvfx)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410765

Description

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

 - TZInfo is a Ruby library that provides access to time zone data and allows times to be converted using
 time zone rules. Versions prior to 0.36.1, as well as those prior to 1.2.10 when used with the Ruby data
 source tzinfo-data, are vulnerable to relative path traversal. With the Ruby data source, time zones are
 defined in Ruby files. There is one file per time zone. Time zone files are loaded with `require` on
 demand. In the affected versions, `TZInfo::Timezone.get` fails to validate time zone identifiers
 correctly, allowing a new line character within the identifier. With Ruby version 1.9.3 and later,
 `TZInfo::Timezone.get` can be made to load unintended files with `require`, executing them within the Ruby
 process. Versions 0.3.61 and 1.2.10 include fixes to correctly validate time zone identifiers. Versions
 2.0.0 and later are not vulnerable. Version 0.3.61 can still load arbitrary files from the Ruby load path
 if their name follows the rules for a valid time zone identifier and the file has a prefix of
 `tzinfo/definition` within a directory in the load path. Applications should ensure that untrusted files
 are not placed in a directory on the load path. As a workaround, the time zone identifier can be validated
 before passing to `TZInfo::Timezone.get` by ensuring it matches the regular expression
 `\A[A-Za-z0-9+\-_]+(?:\/[A-Za-z0-9+\-_]+)*\z`. (CVE-2022-31163)
