Thomas Perale c04ad07213 package/python-wheel: patch CVE-2026-24049 ...

Fixes the following vulnerability:

- CVE-2026-24049:
    wheel is a command line tool for manipulating Python wheel files, as
    defined in PEP 427. In versions 0.40.0 through 0.46.1, the unpack
    function is vulnerable to file permission modification through
    mishandling of file permissions after extraction. The logic blindly
    trusts the filename from the archive header for the chmod operation,
    even though the extraction process itself might have sanitized the
    path. Attackers can craft a malicious wheel file that, when unpacked,
    changes the permissions of critical system files (e.g., /etc/passwd,
    SSH keys, config files), allowing for Privilege Escalation or
    arbitrary code execution by modifying now-writable scripts. This issue
    has been fixed in version 0.46.2.
