SCA: security update for twisted (GHSA-xc8x-vp79-p3wm)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 420428

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. Prior to version 23.10.0rc1, when sending
 multiple HTTP requests in one TCP packet, twisted.web will process the requests asynchronously without
 guaranteeing the response order. If one of the endpoints is controlled by an attacker, the attacker can
 delay the response on purpose to manipulate the response of the second request when a victim launched two
 requests using HTTP pipeline. Version 23.10.0rc1 contains a patch for this issue. (CVE-2023-46137)
