Alpine: multiple py3-django packages: security update to 3.1.7-r0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 406657

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - The package python/cpython from 0 and before 3.6.13, from 3.7.0 and before 3.7.10, from 3.8.0 and before
 3.8.8, from 3.9.0 and before 3.9.2 are vulnerable to Web Cache Poisoning via urllib.parse.parse_qsl and
 urllib.parse.parse_qs by using a vector called parameter cloaking. When the attacker can separate query
 parameters using a semicolon (;), they can cause a difference in the interpretation of the request between
 the proxy (running with default configuration) and the server. This can result in malicious requests being
 cached as completely safe ones, as the proxy would usually not see the semicolon as a separator, and
 therefore would not include it in a cache key of an unkeyed parameter. (CVE-2021-23336)
