SCA: security update for openssh-key-parser (GHSA-hm37-9xh2-q499)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415824

Description

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

 - openssh_key_parser is an open source Python package providing utilities to parse and pack OpenSSH private
 and public key files. In versions prior to 0.0.6 if a field of a key is shorter than it is declared to be,
 the parser raises an error with a message containing the raw field value. An attacker able to modify the
 declared length of a key's sensitive field can thus expose the raw value of that field. Users are advised
 to upgrade to version 0.0.6, which no longer includes the raw field value in the error message. There are
 no known workarounds for this issue. (CVE-2022-31124)
