SCA: security update for vllm (GHSA-vrq3-r879-7m65)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 427761

Description

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

 - vLLM is an inference and serving engine for large language models (LLMs). In version 0.8.0 up to but
 excluding 0.9.0, the vLLM backend used with the /v1/chat/completions OpenAPI endpoint fails to validate
 unexpected or malformed input in the "pattern" and "type" fields when the tools functionality is invoked.
 These inputs are not validated before being compiled or parsed, causing a crash of the inference worker
 with a single request. The worker will remain down until it is restarted. Version 0.9.0 fixes the issue.
 (CVE-2025-48944)
