openSUSE 15 Security Update : pyenv (openSUSE-SU-2022:10183-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 166753

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2022:10183-1 advisory.

 - pyenv 1.2.24 through 2.3.2 allows local users to gain privileges via a .python-version file in the current working directory. An attacker can craft a Python version string in .python-version to execute shims under their control. (Shims are executables that pass a command along to a specific version of pyenv. The version string is used to construct the path to the command, and there is no validation of whether the version specified is a valid version. Thus, relative path traversal can occur.) (CVE-2022-35861)

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

Solution

Update the affected pyenv, pyenv-bash-completion, pyenv-fish-completion and / or pyenv-zsh-completion packages.
