Alpine: multiple py3-werkzeug packages: security update to 3.0.6-r0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 427648

Description

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

 - Werkzeug is a Web Server Gateway Interface web application library. Applications using
 `werkzeug.formparser.MultiPartParser` corresponding to a version of Werkzeug prior to 3.0.6 to parse
 `multipart/form-data` requests (e.g. all flask applications) are vulnerable to a relatively simple but
 effective resource exhaustion (denial of service) attack. A specifically crafted form submission request
 can cause the parser to allocate and block 3 to 8 times the upload size in main memory. There is no upper
 limit; a single upload at 1 Gbit/s can exhaust 32 GB of RAM in less than 60 seconds. Werkzeug version
 3.0.6 fixes this issue. (CVE-2024-49767)
