high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415171

Description

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

 - Pomerium is an open source identity-aware access proxy. Envoy, which Pomerium is based on, can abnormally
 terminate if an H/2 GOAWAY and SETTINGS frame are received in the same IO event. This can lead to a DoS in
 the presence of untrusted *upstream* servers. 0.15.1 contains an upgraded envoy binary with this
 vulnerability patched. If only trusted upstreams are configured, there is not substantial risk of this
 condition being triggered. (CVE-2021-39162)
