SCA: security update for github.com/apptainer/apptainer (GHSA-j3rw-fx6g-q46j)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 436192

Description

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

 - Apptainer is an open source container platform. In Apptainer versions less than 1.4.5, a container can
 disable two of the forms of the little used --security option, in particular the forms
 --security=apparmor:<profile> and --security=selinux:<label> which otherwise put restrictions on
 operations that containers can do. The --security option has always been mentioned in Apptainer
 documentation as being a feature for the root user, although these forms do also work for unprivileged
 users on systems where the corresponding feature is enabled. Apparmor is enabled by default on Debian-
 based distributions and SElinux is enabled by default on RHEL-based distributions, but on SUSE it depends
 on the distribution version. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.4.5. (CVE-2025-65105)
