SCA: security update for aiohttp (GHSA-5h86-8mv2-jq9f)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410850

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. When using aiohttp as a
web server and configuring static routes, it is necessary to specify the root path for static files.
Additionally, the option 'follow_symlinks' can be used to determine whether to follow symbolic links
outside the static root directory. When 'follow_symlinks' is set to True, there is no validation to check
if reading a file is within the root directory. This can lead to directory traversal vulnerabilities,
resulting in unauthorized access to arbitrary files on the system, even when symlinks are not present.
Disabling follow_symlinks and using a reverse proxy are encouraged mitigations. Version 3.9.2 fixes this
issue. (CVE-2024-23334)
