Alpine: multiple pyc packages: security update to 3.12.6-r0
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 408508
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:- 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 “ipaddress” module contained incorrect information about whether certain IPv4 and IPv6 addresses were
designated as “globally reachable” or “private”. This affected the is_private and is_global properties of
the ipaddress.IPv4Address, ipaddress.IPv4Network, ipaddress.IPv6Address, and ipaddress.IPv6Network
classes, where values wouldn’t be returned in accordance with the latest information from the IANA
Special-Purpose Address Registries. CPython 3.12.4 and 3.13.0a6 contain updated information from these
registries and thus have the intended behavior. (CVE-2024-4032)
- There is a MEDIUM severity vulnerability affecting CPython. Regular expressions that allowed excessive
backtracking during tarfile.TarFile header parsing are vulnerable to ReDoS via specifically-crafted tar
archives. (CVE-2024-6232)
- There is a MEDIUM severity vulnerability affecting CPython. The email module didn’t properly quote
newlines for email headers when serializing an email message allowing for header injection when an email
is serialized. (CVE-2024-6923)
- There is a LOW severity vulnerability affecting CPython, specifically the 'http.cookies' standard library
module. When parsing cookies that contained backslashes for quoted characters in the cookie value, the
parser would use an algorithm with quadratic complexity, resulting in excess CPU resources being used
while parsing the value. (CVE-2024-7592)
