OCPBUGS-108037: Bump go.opentelemetry.io/otel to v1.44.0 in 5.0

[redhat-chai-bot]

Summary

Bumps go.opentelemetry.io/otel from v1.43.0 to v1.44.0 to address
CVE-2026-41178 (GHSA-5wrp-cwcj-q835) — Denial of Service via oversized
baggage headers in OpenTelemetry-Go.

CVE Details

• CVE: CVE-2026-41178
• GHSA: GHSA-5wrp-cwcj-q835
• Upstream fix: Comply with W3C Baggage specification limits open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go#7880
• CVSS: 5.3 (Medium)

Fix Strategy

Path A — Direct update (no Go version change required)

The release-5.0 branch uses Go 1.26.0, and the fix requires Go >= 1.25,
so a direct dependency update is compatible. No sustaining fork needed.

The fix restores the raw-length rejection in baggage.Parse that was
inadvertently removed, preventing DoS via oversized baggage headers.

Changes

• Updated go.opentelemetry.io/otel from v1.43.0 to v1.44.0
• Updated related otel sub-modules to compatible versions
• Ran go mod tidy and go mod vendor
• Go version unchanged at 1.26.0
• Build validated: go build ./cmd/cinder-csi-plugin/... ./pkg/csi/... passes
