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. Prior to 3.14.1, during
 cleanup it is possible for a compressed request body to be decompressed into memory in one chunk. An
 attacker may be able to send a compressed payload in specific situations that could be decompressed into
 memory, potentially leading to DoS (a zip bomb edge case). This vulnerability is fixed in 3.14.1.
