SCA: security update for github.com/cilium/cilium (GHSA-pg5p-wwp8-97g8)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417503

Description

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

 - Cilium is a networking, observability, and security solution with an eBPF-based dataplane. When run in
 debug mode, Cilium will log the contents of the `cilium-secrets` namespace. This could include data such
 as TLS private keys for Ingress and GatewayAPI resources. An attacker with access to debug output from the
 Cilium containers could use the resulting output to intercept and modify traffic to and from the affected
 cluster. Output of the sensitive information would occur at Cilium agent restart, when secrets in the
 namespace are modified, and on creation of Ingress or GatewayAPI resources. This vulnerability is fixed in
 Cilium releases 1.11.16, 1.12.9, and 1.13.2. Users unable to upgrade should disable debug mode.
 (CVE-2023-29002)
