The Wave_read._read_fmt_chunk function in Lib/wave.py in Python through 3.6.4 does not ensure a nonzero channel value, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero and exception) via a crafted wav format audio file. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue because Python applications "need to be prepared to handle a wide variety of exceptions.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The Wave_read._read_fmt_chunk function in Lib/wave.py in Python through 3.6.4 does not ensure a nonzero     channel value, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero and exception) via a     crafted wav format audio file. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue because Python applications need to     be prepared to handle a wide variety of exceptions. (CVE-2017-18207)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

An update of the python3 package has been released.

According to the versions of the python packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Python 2.7 through 2.7.17, 3.5 through 3.5.9, 3.6     through 3.6.10, 3.7 through 3.7.6, and 3.8 through     3.8.1 allows an HTTP server to conduct Regular     Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attacks against a     client because of     urllib.request.AbstractBasicAuthHandler catastrophic     backtracking.(CVE-2020-8492)

  - Lib/zipfile.py in Python through 3.7.2 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (resource     consumption) via a ZIP bomb.(CVE-2019-9674)

  - ** DISPUTED ** The Wave_read._read_fmt_chunk function     in Lib/wave.py in Python through 3.6.4 does not ensure     a nonzero channel value, which allows attackers to     cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero and     exception) via a crafted wav format audio file. NOTE:
    the vendor disputes this issue because Python     applications 'need to be prepared to handle a wide     variety of exceptions.'(CVE-2017-18207)

  - Python Software Foundation Python (CPython) version 2.7     contains a CWE-77: Improper Neutralization of Special     Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection')     vulnerability in shutil module (make_archive function)     that can result in Denial of service, Information gain     via injection of arbitrary files on the system or     entire drive. This attack appear to be exploitable via     Passage of unfiltered user input to the function. This     vulnerability appears to have been fixed in after     commit     add531a1e55b0a739b0f42582f1c9747e5649ace.(CVE-2018-1000     802)
