medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415798

Description

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

 - In the bindata RubyGem before version 2.4.10 there is a potential denial-of-service vulnerability. In
 affected versions it is very slow for certain classes in BinData to be created. For example
 BinData::Bit100000, BinData::Bit100001, BinData::Bit100002, BinData::Bit<N>. In combination with
 <user_input>.constantize there is a potential for a CPU-based DoS. In version 2.4.10 bindata improved the
 creation time of Bits and Integers. (CVE-2021-32823)
