SCA: security update for org.apache.pulsar:pulsar-functions-worker (GHSA-jg2g-4rjg-cmqh)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 416341

Description

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

- In Pulsar Functions Worker, authenticated users can upload functions in jar or nar files. These files,
essentially zip files, are extracted by the Functions Worker. However, if a malicious file is uploaded, it
could exploit a directory traversal vulnerability. This occurs when the filenames in the zip files, which
aren't properly validated, contain special elements like "..", altering the directory path. This could
allow an attacker to create or modify files outside of the designated extraction directory, potentially
influencing system behavior. This vulnerability also applies to the Pulsar Broker when it is configured
with "functionsWorkerEnabled=true". This issue affects Apache Pulsar versions from 2.4.0 to 2.10.5, from
2.11.0 to 2.11.3, from 3.0.0 to 3.0.2, from 3.1.0 to 3.1.2, and 3.2.0. 2.10 Pulsar Function Worker users
should upgrade to at least 2.10.6. 2.11 Pulsar Function Worker users should upgrade to at least 2.11.4.
3.0 Pulsar Function Worker users should upgrade to at least 3.0.3. 3.1 Pulsar Function Worker users should
upgrade to at least 3.1.3. 3.2 Pulsar Function Worker users should upgrade to at least 3.2.1. Users
operating versions prior to those listed above should upgrade to the aforementioned patched versions or
newer versions. (CVE-2024-27317)
