CVE-2024-34693: Apache Superset: Server arbitrary file read

[Daniel Gaspar <dpgaspar () apache org>]

Affected versions:

- Apache Superset before 3.1.3
- Apache Superset 4.0.0 before 4.0.1

Description:

Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Apache Superset, allows for an authenticated attacker to create a MariaDB 
connection with local_infile enabled. If both the MariaDB server (off by default) and the local mysql client on the web 
server are set to allow for local infile, it's possible for the attacker to execute a specific MySQL/MariaDB SQL 
command that is able to read files from the server and insert their content on a MariaDB database table.This issue 
affects Apache Superset: before 3.1.3 and version 4.0.0

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.1 or 3.1.3, which fixes the issue.
