high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 410917

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. In affected versions an
 attacker can send a specially crafted POST (multipart/form-data) request. When the aiohttp server
 processes it, the server will enter an infinite loop and be unable to process any further requests. An
 attacker can stop the application from serving requests after sending a single request. This issue has
 been addressed in version 3.9.4. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may manually apply
 a patch to their systems. Please see the linked GHSA for instructions. (CVE-2024-30251)
