SCA: security update for com.amazon.redshift:redshift-jdbc42 (GHSA-x3wm-hffr-chwm)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420266

Description

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

 - The Amazon JDBC Driver for Redshift is a Type 4 JDBC driver that provides database connectivity through
 the standard JDBC application program interfaces (APIs) available in the Java Platform, Enterprise
 Editions. Prior to version 2.1.0.28, SQL injection is possible when using the non-default connection
 property `preferQueryMode=simple` in combination with application code which has a vulnerable SQL that
 negates a parameter value. There is no vulnerability in the driver when using the default, extended query
 mode. Note that `preferQueryMode` is not a supported parameter in Redshift JDBC driver, and is inherited
 code from Postgres JDBC driver. Users who do not override default settings to utilize this unsupported
 query mode are not affected. This issue is patched in driver version 2.1.0.28. As a workaround, do not use
 the connection property `preferQueryMode=simple`. (NOTE: Those who do not explicitly specify a query mode
 use the default of extended query mode and are not affected by this issue.) (CVE-2024-32888)
