SCA: security update for cryptography (GHSA-6vqw-3v5j-54x4)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411644

Description

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

 - cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers.
 Starting in version 38.0.0 and prior to version 42.0.4, if `pkcs12.serialize_key_and_certificates` is
 called with both a certificate whose public key did not match the provided private key and an
 `encryption_algorithm` with `hmac_hash` set (via
 `PrivateFormat.PKCS12.encryption_builder().hmac_hash(...)`, then a NULL pointer dereference would occur,
 crashing the Python process. This has been resolved in version 42.0.4, the first version in which a
 `ValueError` is properly raised. (CVE-2024-26130)

Solution

Update the cryptography library and its related packages to version 42.0.4 or later.
