Upgrade indirect dependancy go-libp2p-core v0.8.6 to go-libp2p-core v0.20.1 to remove indirect dependacy of btcd module which is vulnerable to CVE-2022-44797
What is it fixing
Nerdctl has an indirect dependency module ("github.com/btcsuite/btcd v0.21.0-beta) having vulnerability reported https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-44797.
As explained by @AkihiroSuda, it's false positive and nerdctl does not trigger the code path in any way to invoke "btcd" module. The fix provided was VEX set to eliminate #1571
However APIK some of the open source scanner does not support VEX as of today. e.g. aquasecurity/trivy#1836.
Fix
Upgrade indirect dependancy go-libp2p-core v0.8.6 to go-libp2p-core v0.20.1
Please let me know if more information needs to be added.
