SCA: security update for github.com/contribsys/faktory (GHSA-x4hh-vjm7-g2jv)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420284

Description

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

 - Faktory is a language-agnostic persistent background job server. Prior to version 1.8.0, the Faktory web
 dashboard can suffer from denial of service by a crafted malicious url query param `days`. The
 vulnerability is related to how the backend reads the `days` URL query parameter in the Faktory web
 dashboard. The value is used directly without any checks to create a string slice. If a very large value
 is provided, the backend server ends up using a significant amount of memory and causing it to crash.
 Version 1.8.0 fixes this issue. (CVE-2023-37279)
