SCA: security update for github.com/quic-go/quic-go (GHSA-c33x-xqrf-c478)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413604

Description

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

 - quic-go is an implementation of the QUIC protocol in Go. Prior to version 0.42.0, an attacker can cause
 its peer to run out of memory sending a large number of `NEW_CONNECTION_ID` frames that retire old
 connection IDs. The receiver is supposed to respond to each retirement frame with a `RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID`
 frame. The attacker can prevent the receiver from sending out (the vast majority of) these
 `RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID` frames by collapsing the peers congestion window (by selectively acknowledging
 received packets) and by manipulating the peer's RTT estimate. Version 0.42.0 contains a patch for the
 issue. No known workarounds are available. (CVE-2024-22189)
