Unless Python is planning to fix this, reporting this en-masse will cause needless false positives.

We are working on a labelling effort to help with understanding changes in grype matching quality and this serves as a good candidate for the case where we don't catch things because we don't know about the binaries at all since they aren't installed by a package manager. We created this specifically so we don't forget to capture those cases

See anchore/syft#1197 for detection problems on binaries installed outside of package manager (includes python:slim).

The latest version of grype successfully identifies this CVE so I'll go ahead and close this issue.
