The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS7:CLSA-2024:1710437461 advisory.

  - read_ints in plistlib.py in Python through 3.9.1 is vulnerable to a potential DoS attack via CPU and RAM     exhaustion when processing malformed Apple Property List files in binary format. (CVE-2022-48564)

  - An issue was discovered in Python before 3.8.18, 3.9.x before 3.9.18, 3.10.x before 3.10.13, and 3.11.x     before 3.11.5. It primarily affects servers (such as HTTP servers) that use TLS client authentication. If     a TLS server-side socket is created, receives data into the socket buffer, and then is closed quickly,     there is a brief window where the SSLSocket instance will detect the socket as not connected and won't     initiate a handshake, but buffered data will still be readable from the socket buffer. This data will not     be authenticated if the server-side TLS peer is expecting client certificate authentication, and is     indistinguishable from valid TLS stream data. Data is limited in size to the amount that will fit in the     buffer. (The TLS connection cannot directly be used for data exfiltration because the vulnerable code path     requires that the connection be closed on initialization of the SSLSocket.) (CVE-2023-40217)

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 6.06 (SP), has python3 packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Python 3.x through 3.10 has an open redirection vulnerability in lib/http/server.py due to no protection     against multiple (/) at the beginning of URI path which may leads to information disclosure. NOTE: this is     disputed by a third party because the http.server.html documentation page states Warning: http.server is     not recommended for production. It only implements basic security checks. (CVE-2021-28861)

  - A flaw was found in python. In algorithms with quadratic time complexity using non-binary bases, when     using int(text), a system could take 50ms to parse an int string with 100,000 digits and 5s for     1,000,000 digits (float, decimal, int.from_bytes(), and int() for binary bases 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 are not     affected). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2020-10735)

  - An issue was discovered in Python before 3.11.1. An unnecessary quadratic algorithm exists in one path     when processing some inputs to the IDNA (RFC 3490) decoder, such that a crafted, unreasonably long name     being presented to the decoder could lead to a CPU denial of service. Hostnames are often supplied by     remote servers that could be controlled by a malicious actor; in such a scenario, they could trigger     excessive CPU consumption on the client attempting to make use of an attacker-supplied supposed hostname.
    For example, the attack payload could be placed in the Location header of an HTTP response with status     code 302. A fix is planned in 3.11.1, 3.10.9, 3.9.16, 3.8.16, and 3.7.16. (CVE-2022-45061)

  - A use-after-free exists in Python through 3.9 via heappushpop in heapq. (CVE-2022-48560)

  - read_ints in plistlib.py in Python through 3.9.1 is vulnerable to a potential DoS attack via CPU and RAM     exhaustion when processing malformed Apple Property List files in binary format. (CVE-2022-48564)

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

    CVE-2023-27043:
    The email module of Python through 3.11.3 incorrectly parses e-mail addresses that contain a special     character. The wrong portion of an RFC2822 header is identified as the value of the addr-spec. In some     applications, an attacker can bypass a protection mechanism in which application access is granted only     after verifying receipt of e-mail to a specific domain (e.g., only @company.example.com addresses may be     used for signup). This occurs in email/_parseaddr.py in recent versions of Python.

    CVE-2023-40217:
    An issue was discovered in Python before 3.8.18, 3.9.x before 3.9.18, 3.10.x before 3.10.13, and 3.11.x     before 3.11.5.

According to the versions of the python3 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    Package        : python3.7     Version        : 3.7.3-2+deb10u6     CVE ID         : CVE-2022-48560 CVE-2022-48564 CVE-2022-48565 CVE-2022-48566                      CVE-2023-40217

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Python 3.7.

    CVE-2022-48560

        A use-after-free problem was found in the heappushpop function in         the heapq module.

    CVE-2022-48564

        A potential denial-of-service vulnerability was discovered in the         read_ints function used when processing certain malformed Apple         Property List files in binary format.

    CVE-2022-48565

        An XML External Entity (XXE) issue was discovered.  In order to         avoid possible vulnerabilities, the plistlib module no longer         accepts entity declarations in XML plist files.

    CVE-2022-48566

        Possible constant-time-defeating compiler optimisations were         discovered in the accumulator variable in hmac.compare_digest.

    CVE-2023-40217

        It was discovered that it might be possible to bypass some of the         protections implemented by the TLS handshake in the ssl.SSLSocket         class.  For example, unauthenticated data might be read by a program         expecting data authenticated by client certificates.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     3.7.3-2+deb10u6.

    We recommend that you upgrade your python3.7 packages.
