QID 980724: Python (pip) Security Update for tuf (GHSA-2828-9vh6-9m6j)

Security update has been released for tuf to fix the vulnerability.

Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

An attacker who can gain file access to the repository and modify metadata files may cause a denial of service to clients by creating many invalid signatures on a metadata file. Having a large number of signatures to verify will delay the moment when the client will determine the signature is not valid. This delay may be for at least a few minutes, but possibly could be longer especially if multiple files are impacted.

The tuf maintainers would like to thank Erik MacLean of Analog Devices, Inc. for reporting this issue.

CVSS V3 rated as Medium - 5.3 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 5 severity.
