CVE-2021-38540: Apache Airflow: Variable Import endpoint missed authentication check

*Description*:

The variable import endpoint was not protected by authentication in Airflow
>=2.0.0, <2.1.3. This allowed unauthenticated users to hit that endpoint to
add/modify Airflow variables used in DAGs, potentially
resulting in a denial of service, information disclosure or remote code
execution.

This issue affects *Apache Airflow >=2.0.0, <2.1.3*.
