SCA: security update for github.com/quic-go/quic-go (GHSA-ppxx-5m9h-6vxf)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417649

Description

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

 - quic-go is an implementation of the QUIC protocol (RFC 9000, RFC 9001, RFC 9002) in Go. An attacker can
 cause its peer to run out of memory sending a large number of PATH_CHALLENGE frames. The receiver is
 supposed to respond to each PATH_CHALLENGE frame with a PATH_RESPONSE frame. The attacker can prevent the
 receiver from sending out (the vast majority of) these PATH_RESPONSE frames by collapsing the peers
 congestion window (by selectively acknowledging received packets) and by manipulating the peer's RTT
 estimate. This vulnerability has been patched in versions 0.37.7, 0.38.2 and 0.39.4. (CVE-2023-49295)
