SCA: security update for aiohttp (GHSA-jwhx-xcg6-8xhj)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416608

Description

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

 - aiohttp is an asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python. In versions on the 3.10
 branch prior to version 3.10.2, static routes which contain files with compressed variants (`.gz` or `.br`
 extension) are vulnerable to path traversal outside the root directory if those variants are symbolic
 links. The server protects static routes from path traversal outside the root directory when
 `follow_symlinks=False` (default). It does this by resolving the requested URL to an absolute path and
 then checking that path relative to the root. However, these checks are not performed when looking for
 compressed variants in the `FileResponse` class, and symbolic links are then automatically followed when
 performing the `Path.stat()` and `Path.open()` to send the file. Version 3.10.2 contains a patch for the
 issue. (CVE-2024-42367)
