Fedora 20 : python-fedora-0.3.34-1.fc20 (2014-5962)

high Nessus Plugin ID 73899

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

Fix two security issues for services using python-fedora's TG1 and flask helpers.

The TG1 fix quotes variables that could have been used to launch an XSS attack.

The flask fix addresses OpenID Covert Redirect for web services which use flask_fas_openid to authenticate against the Fedora Account System.

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

Solution

Update the affected python-fedora package.
