SCA: security update for github.com/sigstore/cosign/v2 (GHSA-95pr-fxf5-86gv)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413056
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Cosign provides code signing and transparency for containers and binaries. Prior to version 2.2.4,
maliciously-crafted software artifacts can cause denial of service of the machine running Cosign thereby
impacting all services on the machine. The root cause is that Cosign creates slices based on the number of
signatures, manifests or attestations in untrusted artifacts. As such, the untrusted artifact can control
the amount of memory that Cosign allocates. The exact issue is Cosign allocates excessive memory on the
lines that creates a slice of the same length as the manifests. Version 2.2.4 contains a patch for the
vulnerability. (CVE-2024-29903)
