Untrusted search path vulnerability in the PySys_SetArgv API function in Python 2.6 and earlier, and possibly later versions, prepends an empty string to sys.path when the argv[0] argument does not contain a path separator, which might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse Python file in the current working directory.

The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2011-0027 advisory.

  - Untrusted search path vulnerability in the PySys_SetArgv API function in Python 2.6 and earlier, and     possibly later versions, prepends an empty string to sys.path when the argv[0] argument does not contain a     path separator, which might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse Python file in     the current working directory. (CVE-2008-5983)

  - Buffer underflow in the rgbimg module in Python 2.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a large ZSIZE value in a black-and-white (aka B/W) RGB image that triggers an     invalid pointer dereference. (CVE-2009-4134)

  - Integer overflow in rgbimgmodule.c in the rgbimg module in Python 2.5 allows remote attackers to have an     unspecified impact via a large image that triggers a buffer overflow. NOTE: this vulnerability exists     because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-3143.12. (CVE-2010-1449)

  - Multiple buffer overflows in the RLE decoder in the rgbimg module in Python 2.5 allow remote attackers to     have an unspecified impact via an image file containing crafted data that triggers improper processing     within the (1) longimagedata or (2) expandrow function. (CVE-2010-1450)

  - Multiple integer overflows in audioop.c in the audioop module in Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, and 3.2 allow     context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a large fragment, as     demonstrated by a call to audioop.lin2lin with a long string in the first argument, leading to a buffer     overflow. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2008-3143.5. (CVE-2010-1634)

  - The audioop module in Python 2.7 and 3.2 does not verify the relationships between size arguments and byte     string lengths, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption     and application crash) via crafted arguments, as demonstrated by a call to audioop.reverse with a one-byte     string, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-1634. (CVE-2010-2089)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 5.04, has python packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Multiple integer overflows in the imageop module in     Python 2.5.1 and earlier allow context-dependent     attackers to cause a denial of service (application     crash) and possibly obtain sensitive information (memory     contents) via crafted arguments to (1) the tovideo     method, and unspecified other vectors related to (2)     imageop.c, (3) rbgimgmodule.c, and other files, which     trigger heap-based buffer overflows. (CVE-2007-4965)

  - Integer overflow in _hashopenssl.c in the hashlib module     in Python 2.5.2 and earlier might allow context-     dependent attackers to defeat cryptographic digests,     related to partial hashlib hashing of data exceeding     4GB. (CVE-2008-2316)

  - Untrusted search path vulnerability in the PySys_SetArgv     API function in Python 2.6 and earlier, and possibly     later versions, prepends an empty string to sys.path     when the argv[0] argument does not contain a path     separator, which might allow local users to execute     arbitrary code via a Trojan horse Python file in the     current working directory. (CVE-2008-5983)

  - Multiple integer overflows in audioop.c in the audioop     module in Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, and 3.2 allow context-     dependent attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a large fragment, as     demonstrated by a call to audioop.lin2lin with a long     string in the first argument, leading to a buffer     overflow. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an     incorrect fix for CVE-2008-3143.5. (CVE-2010-1634)

  - The audioop module in Python 2.7 and 3.2 does not verify     the relationships between size arguments and byte string     lengths, which allows context-dependent attackers to     cause a denial of service (memory corruption and     application crash) via crafted arguments, as     demonstrated by a call to audioop.reverse with a one-     byte string, a different vulnerability than     CVE-2010-1634. (CVE-2010-2089)

  - The ssl.match_hostname function in the SSL module in     Python 2.6 through 3.4 does not properly handle a '\0'     character in a domain name in the Subject Alternative     Name field of an X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-     the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via     a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate     Certification Authority, a related issue to     CVE-2009-2408. (CVE-2013-4238)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

It was found that many applications embedding the Python interpreter did not specify a valid full path to the script or application when calling the PySys_SetArgv API function, which could result in the addition of the current working directory to the module search path (sys.path). A local attacker able to trick a victim into running such an application in an attacker-controlled directory could use this flaw to execute code with the victim's privileges. This update adds the PySys_SetArgvEx API. Developers can modify their applications to use this new API, which sets sys.argv without modifying sys.path.
(CVE-2008-5983)

Multiple flaws were found in the Python rgbimg module. If an application written in Python was using the rgbimg module and loaded a specially crafted SGI image file, it could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2009-4134, CVE-2010-1449, CVE-2010-1450)

Multiple flaws were found in the Python audioop module. Supplying certain inputs could cause the audioop module to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-1634, CVE-2010-2089)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - When starting a child process from the subprocess module     in Python 2.4, the parent process could leak file     descriptors if an error occurred. This update resolves     the issue. (BZ#609017)

  - Prior to Python 2.7, programs that used 'ulimit -n' to     enable communication with large numbers of subprocesses     could still monitor only 1024 file descriptors at a     time, which caused an exception :

    ValueError: filedescriptor out of range in select()

This was due to the subprocess module using the 'select' system call.
The module now uses the 'poll' system call, removing this limitation.
(BZ#609020)

  - Prior to Python 2.5, the tarfile module failed to unpack     tar files if the path was longer than 100 characters.
    This update backports the tarfile module from Python 2.5     and the issue no longer occurs. (BZ#263401)

  - The email module incorrectly implemented the logic for     obtaining attachment file names: the get_filename()     fallback for using the deprecated 'name' parameter of     the 'Content-Type' header erroneously used the     'Content-Disposition' header. This update backports a     fix from Python 2.6, which resolves this issue.
    (BZ#644147)

  - Prior to version 2.5, Python's optimized memory     allocator never released memory back to the system. The     memory usage of a long-running Python process would     resemble a 'high-water mark'. This update backports a     fix from Python 2.5a1, which frees unused arenas, and     adds a non-standard sys._debugmallocstats() function,     which prints diagnostic information to stderr. Finally,     when running under Valgrind, the optimized allocator is     deactivated, to allow more convenient debugging of     Python memory usage issues. (BZ#569093)

  - The urllib and urllib2 modules ignored the no_proxy     variable, which could lead to programs such as 'yum'     erroneously accessing a proxy server for URLs covered by     a 'no_proxy' exclusion. This update backports fixes of     urllib and urllib2, which respect the 'no_proxy'     variable, which fixes these issues. (BZ#549372)

As well, this update adds the following enhancements :

  - This update introduces a new python-libs package,     subsuming the majority of the content of the core python     package. This makes both 32-bit and 64-bit Python     libraries available on PowerPC systems. (BZ#625372)

  - The python-libs.i386 package is now available for 64-bit     Itanium with the 32-bit Itanium compatibility mode.
    (BZ#644761)

Updated python packages that fix multiple security issues, several bugs, and add two enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having low security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.
