SCA: security update for fluentd (GHSA-fppq-mj76-fpj2)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414621

Description

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

 - Fluentd collects events from various data sources and writes them to files, RDBMS, NoSQL, IaaS, SaaS,
 Hadoop and so on. A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in non-default configurations of Fluentd
 allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via specially crafted JSON payloads. Fluentd
 setups are only affected if the environment variable `FLUENT_OJ_OPTION_MODE` is explicitly set to
 `object`. Please note: The option FLUENT_OJ_OPTION_MODE was introduced in Fluentd version 1.13.2. Earlier
 versions of Fluentd are not affected by this vulnerability. This issue was patched in version 1.15.3. As a
 workaround do not use `FLUENT_OJ_OPTION_MODE=object`. (CVE-2022-39379)
