SCA: security update for Traefik (GHSA-9cr8-q42q-g8m7)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 443320

Description

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

 - Traefik is an HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. Prior to 3.7.3, there is a critical vulnerability in
 Traefik's HTTP/3 (QUIC) TLS configuration selection that allows unauthenticated clients to bypass router-
 specific mTLS enforcement. When HTTP/3 is enabled on an entrypoint, the TLS handshake selects the
 applicable TLS configuration through an exact, case-sensitive lookup on the SNI value, which fails to
 match wildcard host patterns (e.g., *.example.com) or case variants of the configured hostname. Because
 the handshake falls back to the default TLS configuration — which may not require client certificates — a
 client can complete the QUIC handshake without presenting a certificate, while the subsequent HTTP routing
 layer still dispatches the request to a backend protected by a router-specific mTLS policy. The issue
 affects deployments where HTTP/3 is enabled, a router uses a wildcard Host rule or case-insensitive
 hostname matching, a router-specific TLSOptions enforces client certificate authentication, and UDP access
 to the entrypoint is reachable by an attacker. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.7.3. (CVE-2026-53622)

Solution

Update the Traefik library and its related packages to version 3.7.3 or later.
