TencentOS Server 3: python3.12 (TSSA-2024:0513)

high Nessus Plugin ID 238919

Synopsis

The remote TencentOS Server 3 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0513 advisory.

Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

CVE-2024-4032:
The ipaddress module contained incorrect information about whether certain IPv4 and IPv6 addresses were designated as globally reachable or private. This affected the is_private and is_global properties of the ipaddress.IPv4Address, ipaddress.IPv4Network, ipaddress.IPv6Address, and ipaddress.IPv6Network classes, where values wouldn't be returned in accordance with the latest information from the IANA Special-Purpose Address Registries.

CPython 3.12.4 and 3.13.0a6 contain updated information from these registries and thus have the intended behavior.

CVE-2024-6923:
There is a MEDIUM severity vulnerability affecting CPython.

The email module didn't properly quote newlines for email headers when serializing an email message allowing for header injection when an email is serialized.

CVE-2024-8088:
There is a HIGH severity vulnerability affecting the CPython zipfile module.

When iterating over names of entries in a zip archive (for example, methods of zipfile.ZipFile like namelist(), iterdir(), extractall(), etc) the process can be put into an infinite loop with a maliciously crafted zip archive. This defect applies when reading only metadata or extracting the contents of the zip archive. Programs that are not handling user-controlled zip archives are not affected.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

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 affected packages.
