SCA: security update for github.com/traefik/traefik, github.com/traefik/traefik/v2, github.com/traefik/traefik/v3 (GHSA-62c8-mh53-4cqv)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411113

Description

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

- Traefik is a golang, Cloud Native Application Proxy. When a HTTP request is processed by Traefik, certain
HTTP headers such as X-Forwarded-Host or X-Forwarded-Port are added by Traefik before the request is
routed to the application. For a HTTP client, it should not be possible to remove or modify these headers.
Since the application trusts the value of these headers, security implications might arise, if they can be
modified. For HTTP/1.1, however, it was found that some of theses custom headers can indeed be removed and
in certain cases manipulated. The attack relies on the HTTP/1.1 behavior, that headers can be defined as
hop-by-hop via the HTTP Connection header. This issue has been addressed in release versions 2.11.9 and
3.1.3. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
(CVE-2024-45410)
