SCA: security update for image_processing (GHSA-cxf7-qrc5-9446)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414171

Description

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

- image_processing is an image processing wrapper for libvips and ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick. Prior to
version 1.12.2, using the `#apply` method from image_processing to apply a series of operations that are
coming from unsanitized user input allows the attacker to execute shell commands. This method is called
internally by Active Storage variants, so Active Storage is vulnerable as well. The vulnerability has been
fixed in version 1.12.2 of image_processing. As a workaround, users who process based on user input should
always sanitize the user input by allowing only a constrained set of operations. (CVE-2022-24720)
