NewStart CGSL MAIN 6.01 : python-pip Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2020-0035)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 138769

Synopsis

The remote machine is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.01, has python-pip packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- 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)

- In the urllib3 library through 1.24.1 for Python, CRLF injection is possible if the attacker controls the request parameter. (CVE-2019-11236)

- urllib3 before version 1.23 does not remove the Authorization HTTP header when following a cross-origin redirect (i.e., a redirect that differs in host, port, or scheme). This can allow for credentials in the Authorization header to be exposed to unintended hosts or transmitted in cleartext. (CVE-2018-20060)

- The Requests package before 2.20.0 for Python sends an HTTP Authorization header to an http URI upon receiving a same-hostname https-to-http redirect, which makes it easier for remote attackers to discover credentials by sniffing the network. (CVE-2018-18074)

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

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL python-pip packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
