Security update for grafana and system-user-grafana

This update for grafana and system-user-grafana fixes the following issues:

  • Updated grafana to upstream version 7.3.1

    • CVE-2019-15043: In Grafana 2.x through 6.x before 6.3.4, parts of the HTTP API allow unauthenticated use. This makes it possible to run a denial of service attack against the server running Grafana

    • CVE-2020-12245: Grafana before 6.7.3 allows table-panel XSS via column.title or cellLinkTooltip (bsc#1170557)

    • CVE-2020-13379: The avatar feature in Grafana 3.0.1 through 7.0.1 has an SSRF Incorrect Access Control issue. This vulnerability allows any unauthenticated user/client to make Grafana send HTTP requests to any URL and return its result to the user/client. This can be used to gain information about the network that Grafana is running on. Furthermore, passing invalid URL objects could be used for DOS'ing Grafana via SegFault (bsc#1172409)

    • CVE-2019-15043: In Grafana 2.x through 6.x before 6.3.4, parts of the HTTP API allow unauthenticated use. This makes it possible to run a denial of service attack against the server running Grafana (bsc#1148383)

    • CVE-2020-12052: Grafana version below 6.7.3 is vulnerable for annotation popup XSS (bsc#1170657)

    • CVE-2020-24303: Grafana before 7.1.0-beta 1 allows XSS via a query alias for the ElasticSearch datasource. (bsc#1178243)

    • CVE-2018-18623: Grafana 5.3.1 has XSS via the 'Dashboard > Text Panel' screen (bsc#1172450)

    • CVE-2019-19499: Grafana versions below or equal to 6.4.3 has an Arbitrary File Read vulnerability, which could be exploited by an authenticated attacker that has privileges to modify the data source configurations (bsc#1175951)
