SCA: security update for github.com/kubeedge/kubeedge (GHSA-x3px-2p95-f6jr)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420255

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, EdgeCore may be susceptible to
 a DoS attack on CloudHub if an attacker was to send a well-crafted HTTP request to `/edge.crt`. If an
 attacker can send a well-crafted HTTP request to CloudHub, and that request has a very large body, that
 request can crash the HTTP service through a memory exhaustion vector. The request body is being read into
 memory, and a body that is larger than the available memory can lead to a successful attack. Because the
 request would have to make it through authorization, only authorized users may perform this attack. The
 consequence of the exhaustion is that CloudHub will be in denial of service. KubeEdge is affected only
 when users enable the CloudHub module in the file `cloudcore.yaml`. This bug has been fixed in Kubeedge
 1.11.1, 1.10.2, and 1.9.4. As a workaround, disable the CloudHub switch in the config file
 `cloudcore.yaml`. (CVE-2022-31075)
