SCA: security update for pydantic (GHSA-5jqp-qgf6-3pvh)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410902

Description

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

 - Pydantic is a data validation and settings management using Python type hinting. In affected versions
 passing either `'infinity'`, `'inf'` or `float('inf')` (or their negatives) to `datetime` or `date` fields
 causes validation to run forever with 100% CPU usage (on one CPU). Pydantic has been patched with fixes
 available in the following versions: v1.8.2, v1.7.4, v1.6.2. All these versions are available on
 pypi(https://pypi.org/project/pydantic/#history), and will be available on conda-
 forge(https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pydantic) soon. See the changelog(https://pydantic-
 docs.helpmanual.io/) for details. If you absolutely can't upgrade, you can work around this risk using a
 validator(https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/usage/validators/) to catch these values. This is not an
 ideal solution (in particular you'll need a slightly different function for datetimes), instead of a hack
 like this you should upgrade pydantic. If you are not using v1.8.x, v1.7.x or v1.6.x and are unable to
 upgrade to a fixed version of pydantic, please create an issue at
 https://github.com/samuelcolvin/pydantic/issues requesting a back-port, and we will endeavour to release a
 patch for earlier versions of pydantic. (CVE-2021-29510)

Solution

Update the pydantic library and its related packages to version 1.6.2 or later.
