SCA: security update for github.com/golang/glog (GHSA-6wxm-mpqj-6jpf)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420778

Description

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

 - When logs are written to a widely-writable directory (the default), an unprivileged attacker may predict a
 privileged process's log file path and pre-create a symbolic link to a sensitive file in its place. When
 that privileged process runs, it will follow the planted symlink and overwrite that sensitive file. To fix
 that, glog now causes the program to exit (with status code 2) when it finds that the configured log file
 already exists. (CVE-2024-45339)
