SCA: security update for eventlet (GHSA-hw6f-rjfj-j7j7)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435159

Description

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

 - Eventlet is a concurrent networking library for Python. Prior to version 0.40.3, the Eventlet WSGI parser
 is vulnerable to HTTP Request Smuggling due to improper handling of HTTP trailer sections. This
 vulnerability could enable attackers to, bypass front-end security controls, launch targeted attacks
 against active site users, and poison web caches. This problem has been patched in Eventlet 0.40.3 by
 dropping trailers which is a breaking change if a backend behind eventlet.wsgi proxy requires trailers. A
 workaround involves not using eventlet.wsgi facing untrusted clients. (CVE-2025-58068)
