SCA: security update for llama-cpp-python (GHSA-56xg-wfcc-g829)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 421395

Description

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

 - llama-cpp-python is the Python bindings for llama.cpp. `llama-cpp-python` depends on class `Llama` in
 `llama.py` to load `.gguf` llama.cpp or Latency Machine Learning Models. The `__init__` constructor built
 in the `Llama` takes several parameters to configure the loading and running of the model. Other than
 `NUMA, LoRa settings`, `loading tokenizers,` and `hardware settings`, `__init__` also loads the `chat
 template` from targeted `.gguf` 's Metadata and furtherly parses it to
 `llama_chat_format.Jinja2ChatFormatter.to_chat_handler()` to construct the `self.chat_handler` for this
 model. Nevertheless, `Jinja2ChatFormatter` parse the `chat template` within the Metadate with sandbox-less
 `jinja2.Environment`, which is furthermore rendered in `__call__` to construct the `prompt` of
 interaction. This allows `jinja2` Server Side Template Injection which leads to remote code execution by a
 carefully constructed payload. (CVE-2024-34359)
