SCA: security update for github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge (GHSA-6wvc-6pww-qr4r)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411681

Description

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

- KubeEdge is an open source system for extending native containerized application orchestration
capabilities to hosts at Edge. Prior to versions 1.11.1, 1.10.2, and 1.9.4, a large response received by
the viaduct WSClient can cause a DoS from memory exhaustion. The entire body of the response is being read
into memory which could allow an attacker to send a request that returns a response with a large body. The
consequence of the exhaustion is that the process which invokes a WSClient will be in a denial of service.
The software is affected If users who are authenticated to the edge side connect to `cloudhub` from the
edge side through WebSocket protocol. This bug has been fixed in Kubeedge 1.11.1, 1.10.2, and 1.9.4. There
are currently no known workarounds. (CVE-2022-31080)
