SCA: security update for vyper (GHSA-9x7f-gwxq-6f2c)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 421469

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
earlier, the bounds check for slices does not account for the ability for start + length to overflow when
the values aren't literals. If a slice() function uses a non-literal argument for the start or length
variable, this creates the ability for an attacker to overflow the bounds check. This issue can be used to
do OOB access to storage, memory or calldata addresses. It can also be used to corrupt the length slot of
the respective array. (CVE-2024-24561)
