SCA: security update for pyarrow (GHSA-5wvp-7f3h-6wmm)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411064

Description

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

 - Deserialization of untrusted data in IPC and Parquet readers in PyArrow versions 0.14.0 to 14.0.0 allows
 arbitrary code execution. An application is vulnerable if it reads Arrow IPC, Feather or Parquet data from
 untrusted sources (for example user-supplied input files). This vulnerability only affects PyArrow, not
 other Apache Arrow implementations or bindings. It is recommended that users of PyArrow upgrade to 14.0.1.
 Similarly, it is recommended that downstream libraries upgrade their dependency requirements to PyArrow
 14.0.1 or later. PyPI packages are already available, and we hope that conda-forge packages will be
 available soon. If it is not possible to upgrade, we provide a separate package `pyarrow-hotfix` that
 disables the vulnerability on older PyArrow versions. See https://pypi.org/project/pyarrow-hotfix/ for
 instructions. (CVE-2023-47248)
