SCA: security update for notebook (GHSA-v7vq-3x77-87vg)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 419169

Description

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

 - Jupyter Notebook is a web-based notebook environment for interactive computing. Prior to version 6.4.12,
 authenticated requests to the notebook server with `ContentsManager.allow_hidden = False` only prevented
 listing the contents of hidden directories, not accessing individual hidden files or files in hidden
 directories (i.e. hidden files were 'hidden' but not 'inaccessible'). This could lead to notebook
 configurations allowing authenticated access to files that may reasonably be expected to be disallowed.
 Because fully authenticated requests are required, this is of relatively low impact. But if a server's
 root directory contains sensitive files whose only protection from the server is being hidden (e.g.
 `~/.ssh` while serving $HOME), then any authenticated requests could access files if their names are
 guessable. Such contexts also necessarily have full access to the server and therefore execution
 permissions, which also generally grants access to all the same files. So this does not generally result
 in any privilege escalation or increase in information access, only an additional, unintended means by
 which the files could be accessed. Version 6.4.12 contains a patch for this issue. There are currently no
 known workarounds. (CVE-2022-29238)
