SCA: security update for github.com/deislabs/oras (GHSA-g5v4-5x39-vwhx)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 431715

Description

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

 - ORAS is open source software which enables a way to push OCI Artifacts to OCI Conformant registries. ORAS
 is both a CLI for initial testing and a Go Module. In ORAS from version 0.4.0 and before version 0.9.0,
 there is a "zip-slip" vulnerability. The directory support feature allows the downloaded gzipped tarballs
 to be automatically extracted to the user-specified directory where the tarball can have symbolic links
 and hard links. A well-crafted tarball or tarballs allow malicious artifact providers linking, writing, or
 overwriting specific files on the host filesystem outside of the user-specified directory unexpectedly
 with the same permissions as the user who runs `oras pull`. Users of the affected versions are impacted if
 they are `oras` CLI users who runs `oras pull`, or if they are Go programs, which invoke
 `github.com/deislabs/oras/pkg/content.FileStore`. The problem has been fixed in version 0.9.0. For `oras`
 CLI users, there is no workarounds other than pulling from a trusted artifact provider. For `oras` package
 users, the workaround is to not use `github.com/deislabs/oras/pkg/content.FileStore`, and use other
 content stores instead, or pull from a trusted artifact provider. (CVE-2021-21272)
