SCA: security update for vyper (GHSA-r56x-j438-vw5m)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 421401

Description

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

 - Vyper is a pythonic Smart Contract Language for the Ethereum virtual machine. In versions 0.3.10 and
 prior, using the `slice` builtin can result in a double eval vulnerability when the buffer argument is
 either `msg.data`, `self.code` or `<address>.code` and either the `start` or `length` arguments have side-
 effects. It can be easily triggered only with the versions `<0.3.4` as `0.3.4` introduced the unique
 symbol fence. No vulnerable production contracts were found. Additionally, double evaluation of side-
 effects should be easily discoverable in client tests. As such, the impact is low. As of time of
 publication, no fixed versions are available. (CVE-2024-32646)
