I've investigated these packages and found that:

- Telegraf isn't affected on Jammy, because it uses consul 1.12.0 which
  already has a fix for the CVE.  Since the 22.04 ROCK image will be
  based on this package, we're covered.

- Cortex seems to be affected, even upstream's git HEAD.  I filed
  https://github.com/cortexproject/cortex/issues/4682.  I'm not 100%
  sure whether the specific consul feature that is affected by the CVE
  (Ingress Gateway) is used by cortex or not.  I will wait on upstream's
  answer to decide which action to take here.

Thanks,
