TencentOS Server 4: python3.11 (TSSA-2024:0483)

high Nessus Plugin ID 239961

Synopsis

The remote TencentOS Server 4 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0483 advisory.

Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

CVE-2024-8088:
There is a HIGH severity vulnerability affecting the CPython zipfile module affecting zipfile.Path. Note that the more common API zipfile.ZipFile class is unaffected.

When iterating over names of entries in a zip archive (for example, methods of zipfile.Path like namelist(), iterdir(), 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.

CVE-2024-7592:
There is a LOW severity vulnerability affecting CPython, specifically the 'http.cookies' standard library module.

When parsing cookies that contained backslashes for quoted characters in the cookie value, the parser would use an algorithm with quadratic complexity, resulting in excess CPU resources being used while parsing the value.

CVE-2023-6597:
An issue was found in the CPython `tempfile.TemporaryDirectory` class affecting versions 3.12.1, 3.11.7, 3.10.13, 3.9.18, and 3.8.18 and prior.

The tempfile.TemporaryDirectory class would dereference symlinks during cleanup of permissions-related errors. This means users which can run privileged programs are potentially able to modify permissions of files referenced by symlinks in some circumstances.

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.
