EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.2.6 : python-jinja2 (EulerOS-SA-2021-2877)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 156504

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the python-jinja2 package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- This affects the package jinja2 from 0.0.0 and before 2.11.3. The ReDoS vulnerability is mainly due to the `_punctuation_re regex` operator and its use of multiple wildcards. The last wildcard is the most exploitable as it searches for trailing punctuation. This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process memory. (CVE-2020-28493)

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.

Solution

Update the affected python-jinja2 packages.
