Echo: com.google.guava:guava: security update to 32.0.0-android

low Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 462475

Description

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

 - A temp directory creation vulnerability exists in all versions of Guava, allowing an attacker with access
 to the machine to potentially access data in a temporary directory created by the Guava API
 com.google.common.io.Files.createTempDir(). By default, on unix-like systems, the created directory is
 world-readable (readable by an attacker with access to the system). The method in question has been marked
 @Deprecated in versions 30.0 and later and should not be used. For Android developers, we recommend
 choosing a temporary directory API provided by Android, such as context.getCacheDir(). For other Java
 developers, we recommend migrating to the Java 7 API java.nio.file.Files.createTempDirectory() which
 explicitly configures permissions of 700, or configuring the Java runtime's java.io.tmpdir system property
 to point to a location whose permissions are appropriately configured. (CVE-2020-8908)

Solution

Update the com.google.guava:guava library and its related packages to version 32.0.0-android or later.
