SCA: security update for org.apache.nifi:nifi-framework-cluster (GHSA-43fp-vwwg-qgv6)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 422644

Description

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

- When a client request to a cluster node was replicated to other nodes in the cluster for verification, the
Content-Length was forwarded. On a DELETE request, the body was ignored, but if the initial request had a
Content-Length value other than 0, the receiving nodes would wait for the body and eventually timeout.
Mitigation: The fix to check DELETE requests and overwrite non-zero Content-Length header values was
applied on the Apache NiFi 1.8.0 release. Users running a prior 1.x release should upgrade to the
appropriate release. (CVE-2018-17194)
