critical Nessus Plugin ID 144443

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update for python36 fixes the following issues :

CVE-2019-18348: Fixed a CRLF injection via the host part of the url passed to urlopen() (bsc#1155094)

CVE-2019-20916: Fixed a directory traversal in _download_http_url() (bsc#1176262).

CVE-2020-27619: Fixed an issue where the CJK codec tests call eval() on content retrieved via HTTP (bsc#1178009).

CVE-2020-8492: Fixed a regular expression in urrlib that was prone to denial of service via HTTP (bsc#1162367).

Working-around missing python-packaging dependency in python-Sphinx is not necessary anymore (bsc#1174571).

Build of python3 documentation is not independent on the version of Sphinx(bsc#1179630).

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