x/vulndb: potential Go vuln in github.com/traefik/traefik/v3: GHSA-7vww-mvcr-x6vj #4205

Description

@GoVulnBot

Advisory GHSA-7vww-mvcr-x6vj references a vulnerability in the following Go modules:

Module
github.com/traefik/traefik
github.com/traefik/traefik/v2
github.com/traefik/traefik/v3
