Description of problem:

Image multicluster-engine/hive-rhel9 is using package python3-3.9.16, which is vulnerable to CVE-2023-6597. Errata RHSA-2024:4078 [1] fixed it with python3-3.9.18 in RHEL 9.4 and 9.6, but the image is still using RHEL 9.2 as base.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Version 2.9 of the image [2] (older versions seems to not have python)

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:

1.  Get into the image (for example, with Podman, assuming the authfile is in /var/lib/kubelet/config.json):

   # podman run --rm --authfile /var/lib/kubelet/config.json -it --entrypoint /bin/bash registry.redhat.io/multicluster-engine/hive-rhel9@sha256:55388553b68ad695bbde73addc43a68fc4523c4477f979ee1e8103b79dbe0bea
   

2.  Check the redhat-release, and the package python3 installed:

   bash-5.1# cat /etc/redhat-release 
   Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 9.2 (Plow)
   
   bash-5.1# rpm -q python3
   python3-3.9.16-1.el9_2.10.x86_64
   

Actual results:

Image using vulnerable version.

Expected results:

Image using newer version with the fix for CVE-2023-6597
