SUSE update for python

1) CRLF injection

EUVDB-ID: #VU31958

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-18348

CWE-ID: CWE-74 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

An issue was discovered in urllib2 in Python 2.x through 2.7.17 and urllib in Python 3.x through 3.8.0. CRLF injection is possible if the attacker controls a url parameter, as demonstrated by the first argument to urllib.request.urlopen with (specifically in the host component of a URL) followed by an HTTP header. This is similar to the CVE-2019-9740 query string issue and the CVE-2019-9947 path string issue. (This is not exploitable when glibc has CVE-2016-10739 fixed.)

Mitigation

Update the affected package python to the latest version.

2) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU50814

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23336

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform web cache spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in django.utils.http.limited_parse_qsl() when parsing strings with a semicolon (";"). A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a spoofing attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package python to the latest version.
