SCA: security update for org.apache.solr:solr-core (GHSA-mh7g-99w9-xpjm)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 423370

Description

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

 - Remote code execution occurs in Apache Solr before 7.1 with Apache Lucene before 7.1 by exploiting XXE in
 conjunction with use of a Config API add-listener command to reach the RunExecutableListener class.
 Elasticsearch, although it uses Lucene, is NOT vulnerable to this. Note that the XML external entity
 expansion vulnerability occurs in the XML Query Parser which is available, by default, for any query
 request with parameters deftype=xmlparser and can be exploited to upload malicious data to the /upload
 request handler or as Blind XXE using ftp wrapper in order to read arbitrary local files from the Solr
 server. Note also that the second vulnerability relates to remote code execution using the
 RunExecutableListener available on all affected versions of Solr. (CVE-2017-12629)
