SCA: security update for mitogen (GHSA-8rf6-w2mx-4xjh)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 423546

Description

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

 - core.py in Mitogen before 0.2.8 has a typo that drops the unidirectional-routing protection mechanism in
 the case of a child that is initiated by another child. The Ansible extension is unaffected. NOTE: the
 vendor disputes this issue because it is exploitable only in conjunction with hypothetical other factors,
 i.e., an affected use case within a library caller, and a bug in the message receiver policy code that led
 to reliance on this extra protection mechanism (CVE-2019-15149)
