Google: dev-python/pyopenssl: security update to 18244.582.55

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 451305

Description

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

 - pyOpenSSL is a Python wrapper around the OpenSSL library. Starting in version 0.14.0 and prior to version
 26.0.0, if a user provided callback to `set_tlsext_servername_callback` raised an unhandled exception,
 this would result in a connection being accepted. If a user was relying on this callback for any security-
 sensitive behavior, this could allow bypassing it. Starting in version 26.0.0, unhandled exceptions now
 result in rejecting the connection. (CVE-2026-27448)

Solution

Update the dev-python/pyopenssl library and its related packages to version 18244.582.55 or later.
