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. If an excessively large

 overflow. This results in the decoding of values outside the intended array bounds, potentially leading to
 exploitations in contracts that use arrays within `_abi_decode`. This vulnerability affects 0.3.10 and
