GHSA-57wx-m636-g3g8: Go package github.com/notaryproject/notation configured with permissive trust policies potentially susceptible to rollback attack from compromised registry

### Impact An external actor with control of a compromised container registry can provide outdated versions of OCI artifacts, such as Images. This could lead artifact consumers with relaxed trust policies (such as `permissive` instead of `strict`) to potentially use artifacts with signatures that are no longer valid, making them susceptible to any exploits those artifacts may contain. ### Mitigation In Notary Project, an artifact publisher can control the validity period of artifact by specifying signature expiry during the signing process. Using shorter signature validity periods along with processes to periodically resign artifacts, allows artifact producers to ensure that their consumers will only receive up-to-date artifacts. Artifact consumers should correspondingly use a `strict` or equivalent trust policy that enforces signature expiry. Together these steps enable use of up-to-date artifacts and safeguard against rollback attack in the event of registry compromise. The Notary P...

Unlocking the power of generative AI with Cloudera Data Platform and Red Hat OpenShift

In many science fiction movies, the crew asks a computer to solve a problem. The computer comes on with a calm voice to introduce possible solutions. The crew listens carefully and continues the conversation as if talking to a colleague. This was a scientific fantasy not too long ago. Many kids dreamed about the ability to have a computer help them navigate the spaceship in uncharted territories. Fast forward to 2023, and this is no longer a sci-fi imagining but rather a reality. Yes, we are talking about the introduction and wide adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI).This tec
