SCA: security update for vyper (GHSA-vgf2-gvx8-xwc3)

low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446564

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 EVM. When the Vyper Compiler uses the precompiles
 EcRecover (0x1) and Identity (0x4), the success flag of the call is not checked. As a consequence an
 attacker can provide a specific amount of gas to make these calls fail but let the overall execution
 continue. Then the execution result can be incorrect. Based on EVM's rules, after the failed precompile
 the remaining code has only 1/64 of the pre-call-gas left (as 63/64 were forwarded and spent). Hence, only
 fairly simple executions can follow the failed precompile calls. Therefore, we found no significantly
 impacted real-world contracts. None the less an advisory has been made out of an abundance of caution.
 This issue is fixed in 0.4.1. (CVE-2025-21607)

There is no known solution at this time.
