SCA: security update for twisted (GHSA-c2jg-hw38-jrqq)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413590

Description

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

 - Twisted is an event-based framework for internet applications, supporting Python 3.6+. Prior to version
 22.4.0rc1, the Twisted Web HTTP 1.1 server, located in the `twisted.web.http` module, parsed several HTTP
 request constructs more leniently than permitted by RFC 7230. This non-conformant parsing can lead to
 desync if requests pass through multiple HTTP parsers, potentially resulting in HTTP request smuggling.
 Users who may be affected use Twisted Web's HTTP 1.1 server and/or proxy and also pass requests through a
 different HTTP server and/or proxy. The Twisted Web client is not affected. The HTTP 2.0 server uses a
 different parser, so it is not affected. The issue has been addressed in Twisted 22.4.0rc1. Two
 workarounds are available: Ensure any vulnerabilities in upstream proxies have been addressed, such as by
 upgrading them; or filter malformed requests by other means, such as configuration of an upstream proxy.
 (CVE-2022-24801)
