Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-4559)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The
vulnerability exists due to improper validation of filenames in the
tarfile module in Python. A remote attacker can
create a specially crafted archive with symbolic links inside or
filenames that contain directory traversal characters (e.g. "..") and
overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
2) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40897)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing HTML content. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40898)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input passed to wheel cli. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45061)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of an unnecessary quadratic algorithm in one path when processing some inputs to the IDNA (RFC 3490) decoder. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted name to he decoder, trigger resource excessive CPU consumption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Error Handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23931)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to misuse Python API.
The vulnerability exists due to a soundness bug within the Cipher.update_into function, which can allow immutable objects (such as bytes) to be mutated. A malicious programmer can misuse Python API to introduce unexpected behavior into the application.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24329)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented filters.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of URLs that start with blank characters within urllib.parse component of Python. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted URL to bypass existing filters.
7) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32681)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to requests has been leaking Proxy-Authorization headers to destination servers when redirected to an HTTPS endpoint. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
8) Cleartext transmission of sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40217)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in ssl.SSLSocket implementation when handling TLS client authentication. A remote attacker can trick the application to send data unencrypted.
