Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for python38:3.8 / python38-devel:3.8.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:2763 advisory.

- python: int() type in PyLong_FromString() does not limit amount of digits converting text to int leading to DoS (CVE-2020-10735)

- python: open redirection vulnerability in lib/http/server.py may lead to information disclosure (CVE-2021-28861)

- python: CPU denial of service via inefficient IDNA decoder (CVE-2022-45061)

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

Solution

Update the RHEL python38:3.8 / python38-devel:3.8 packages based on the guidance in RHSA-2023:2763.
