Image maintenance needed.
Feature description
base-image ubi8:8.8 has an update available, ubi8:8.9. Numerous base-image findings in VAT are popping up inappropriately in downstream images (as-of Jan 2024). Updating to ubi8:8.9 should address many of these findings, as redhat already has RHSA's against them.
(also: would be nice if there was an update to python 3.8.18; since that's been out since Aug 24, and is still supported by python.org until Oct 24, 2024. see: https://peps.python.org/pep-0569/)
A ubi9 version of python38 was created with 3.8.18, but it can not be used because it was ubi9-minimal; which lacks a full set of package management tools (microdnf instead of dnf).
