SCA: security update for org.apache.storm:storm-core (GHSA-85p4-q357-72h9)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412445

Description

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

 - On unix-like systems, the temporary directory is shared between all user. As such, writing to this
 directory using APIs that do not explicitly set the file/directory permissions can lead to information
 disclosure. Of note, this does not impact modern MacOS Operating Systems. The method File.createTempFile
 on unix-like systems creates a file with predefined name (so easily identifiable) and by default will
 create this file with the permissions -rw-r--r--. Thus, if sensitive information is written to this file,
 other local users can read this information. File.createTempFile(String, String) will create a temporary
 file in the system temporary directory if the 'java.io.tmpdir' system property is not explicitly set. This
 affects the class https://github.com/apache/storm/blob/master/storm-
 core/src/jvm/org/apache/storm/utils/TopologySpoutLag.java#L99 and was introduced by
 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-3123 In practice, this has a very limited impact as this class
 is used only if ui.disable.spout.lag.monitoring is set to false, but its value is true by default.
 Moreover, the temporary file gets deleted soon after its creation. The solution is to use
 Files.createTempFile https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/nio/file/Files.html
 #createTempFile(java.lang.String,java.lang.String,java.nio.file.attribute.FileAttribute...) instead. We
 recommend that all users upgrade to the latest version of Apache Storm. (CVE-2023-43123)
