Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the python-urllib3 package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - The urllib3 library before 1.24.2 for Python mishandles certain cases where the desired set of CA certificates is different from the OS store of CA certificates, which results in SSL connections succeeding in situations where a verification failure is the correct outcome. This is related to use of the ssl_context, ca_certs, or ca_certs_dir argument.(CVE-2019-11324)

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.
