SCA: security update for github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge (GHSA-wrcr-x4qj-j543)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420098

Description

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

 - KubeEdge is an open source system for extending native containerized application orchestration
 capabilities to hosts at Edge. Prior to versions 1.11.1, 1.10.2, and 1.9.4, the Cloud Stream server and
 the Edge Stream server reads the entire message into memory without imposing a limit on the size of this
 message. An attacker can exploit this by sending a large message to exhaust memory and cause a DoS. The
 Cloud Stream server and the Edge Stream server are under DoS attack in this case. The consequence of the
 exhaustion is that the CloudCore and EdgeCore will be in a denial of service. Only an authenticated user
 can cause this issue. It will be affected only when users enable `cloudStream` module in the config file
 `cloudcore.yaml` and enable `edgeStream` module in the config file `edgecore.yaml`. This bug has been
 fixed in Kubeedge 1.11.1, 1.10.2, and 1.9.4. As a workaround, disable cloudStream module in the config
 file `cloudcore.yaml` and disable edgeStream module in the config file `edgecore.yaml`. (CVE-2022-31079)
