QID 982560: Go (go) Security Update for github.com/sylabs/sif (GHSA-4gh8-x3vv-phhg)

Security update has been released for github.com/sylabs/sif to fix the vulnerability.

Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The `siftool new` command and [func siftool.New()](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/sylabs/sif/pkg/siftool#New) produce predictable UUID identifiers due to insecure randomness in the version of the `github.com/satori/go.uuid` module used as a dependency.

  • CVSS V3 rated as High - 7.5 severity.
  • CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 4 severity.
    • Solution
    A patch is available in versions 1.2.3 and newer of the module. Users are encouraged to upgrade.Workaround:
    Users passing [CreateInfo struct](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/sylabs/sif/pkg/sif#CreateInfo) should ensure the `ID` field is generated using a version of `github.com/satori/go.uuid` that is not vulnerable to this issue. Unfortunately, the latest tagged release is vulnerable to this issue. One way to obtain a non-vulnerable version is:

    ```
    go get github.com/satori/go.uuid@75cca531ea763666bc46e531da3b4c3b95f64557
    ```
