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)
