SCA: security update for com.aerospike:aerospike-client (GHSA-jj95-55cr-9597)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 416417

Description

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

- The Aerospike Java client is a Java application that implements a network protocol to communicate with an
Aerospike server. Prior to versions 7.0.0, 6.2.0, 5.2.0, and 4.5.0 some of the messages received from the
server contain Java objects that the client deserializes when it encounters them without further
validation. Attackers that manage to trick clients into communicating with a malicious server can include
especially crafted objects in its responses that, once deserialized by the client, force it to execute
arbitrary code. This can be abused to take control of the machine the client is running on. Versions
7.0.0, 6.2.0, 5.2.0, and 4.5.0 contain a patch for this issue. (CVE-2023-36480)
