MiracleLinux 7 : python-2.7.5-34.0.1.el7.AXS7 (AXSA:2015-803:01)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 289468

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2015-803:01 advisory.

 IPy is a Python module for handling IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses and Networks in a fashion similar to perl's Net::IP and friends. The IP class allows a comfortable parsing and handling for most notations in use for IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses and Networks.
 Security issues fixed with this release:

 CVE-2014-4650

 CVE-2014-7185 Integer overflow in bufferobject.c in Python before 2.7.8 allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory via a large size and offset in a buffer function.
 Fixed bugs:
 * Subprocesses used with the Eventlet library or regular threads previously tried to close epoll file descriptors twice, which led to an Invalid argument error. Subprocesses have been fixed to close the file descriptors only once.
 * When importing the readline module from a Python script, Python no longer produces erroneous random characters on stdout.
 * The cProfile utility has been fixed to print all values that the -s option supports when this option is used without a correct value.
 * The load_cert_chain() function now accepts None as a keyfile argument.
 Enhancements:
 * Security enhancements as described in PEP 466 have been backported to the Python standard library, for example, new features of the ssl module: Server Name Indication (SNI) support, support for new TLSv1.x protocols, new hash algorithms in the hashlib module, and many more.
 * Support for the ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2 protocol has been added to the ssl library.
 * The ssl.SSLSocket.version() method is now available to access information about the version of the SSL protocol used in a connection.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux 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 python, python-devel and / or python-libs packages.
