EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.6.0 : python2 (EulerOS-SA-2023-2214)

high Nessus Plugin ID 177162

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the python2 packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- In Python (aka CPython) up to 3.10.8, the mailcap module does not add escape characters into commands discovered in the system mailcap file. This may allow attackers to inject shell commands into applications that call mailcap.findmatch with untrusted input (if they lack validation of user-provided filenames or arguments). The fix is also back-ported to 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 (CVE-2015-20107)

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 python2 packages.
