An XML External Entity (XXE) issue was discovered in Python through 3.9.1. The plistlib module no longer accepts entity declarations in XML plist files to avoid XML vulnerabilities.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - python: tarfile module directory traversal (CVE-2007-4559)

  - python: XML External Entity in XML processing plistlib module (CVE-2022-48565)

  - 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)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:2987 advisory.

    Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language that supports modules,     classes, exceptions, high-level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing.

The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the K000139691 advisory.

  - An XML External Entity (XXE) issue was discovered in Python through 3.9.1. The plistlib module no longer     accepts entity declarations in XML plist files to avoid XML vulnerabilities. (CVE-2022-48565)

  - 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-2018-1000802)

  - An integer overflow during the parsing of XML using the Expat library. This vulnerability affects Firefox     < 50. (CVE-2016-9063)

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

According to the versions of the python2 packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

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

  - An XML External Entity (XXE) issue was discovered in Python through 3.9.1. The plistlib module no longer     accepts entity declarations in XML plist files to avoid XML vulnerabilities. (CVE-2022-48565)

  - An issue was discovered in compare_digest in Lib/hmac.py in Python through 3.9.1. Constant-time-defeating     optimisations were possible in the accumulator variable in hmac.compare_digest. (CVE-2022-48566)

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

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

  - An issue was discovered in compare_digest in Lib/hmac.py in Python through 3.9.1. Constant-time-defeating     optimisations were possible in the accumulator variable in hmac.compare_digest. (CVE-2022-48566)

  - 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)

  - 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-2023-27043)

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3575 advisory.

  - The package python/cpython from 0 and before 3.6.13, from 3.7.0 and before 3.7.10, from 3.8.0 and before     3.8.8, from 3.9.0 and before 3.9.2 are vulnerable to Web Cache Poisoning via urllib.parse.parse_qsl and     urllib.parse.parse_qs by using a vector called parameter cloaking. When the attacker can separate query     parameters using a semicolon (;), they can cause a difference in the interpretation of the request between     the proxy (running with default configuration) and the server. This can result in malicious requests being     cached as completely safe ones, as the proxy would usually not see the semicolon as a separator, and     therefore would not include it in a cache key of an unkeyed parameter. (CVE-2021-23336)

  - A flaw was found in Python, specifically within the urllib.parse module. This module helps break Uniform     Resource Locator (URL) strings into components. The issue involves how the urlparse method does not     sanitize input and allows characters like '\r' and '\n' in the URL path. This flaw allows an attacker to     input a crafted URL, leading to injection attacks. This flaw affects Python versions prior to 3.10.0b1,     3.9.5, 3.8.11, 3.7.11 and 3.6.14. (CVE-2022-0391)

  - An issue in the urllib.parse component of Python before 3.11.4 allows attackers to bypass blocklisting     methods by supplying a URL that starts with blank characters. (CVE-2023-24329)

  - 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.
