SCA: security update for vyper (GHSA-5824-cm3x-3c38)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 410672

Description

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

 - Vyper is a Pythonic Smart Contract Language for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). In versions 0.2.15,
 0.2.16 and 0.3.0, named re-entrancy locks are allocated incorrectly. Each function using a named re-
 entrancy lock gets a unique lock regardless of the key, allowing cross-function re-entrancy in contracts
 compiled with the susceptible versions. A specific set of conditions is required to result in misbehavior
 of affected contracts, specifically: a `.vy` contract compiled with `vyper` versions `0.2.15`, `0.2.16`,
 or `0.3.0`; a primary function that utilizes the `@nonreentrant` decorator with a specific `key` and does
 not strictly follow the check-effects-interaction pattern (i.e. contains an external call to an untrusted
 party before storage updates); and a secondary function that utilizes the same `key` and would be affected
 by the improper state caused by the primary function. Version 0.3.1 contains a fix for this issue.
