CentOS Linux 8 [TuxCare] Security Update: platform-python / platform-python-debug / platform-python-devel / etc Multiple Vulnerabilities (CENTOS-STREAM8:CLSA-2026:1772810768)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 362174

Synopsis

The CentOS Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The CentOS Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare CENTOS-STREAM8:CLSA-2026:1772810768 advisory.

 - 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-2024-7592)

 - The poplib module, when passed a user-controlled command, can have additional commands injected using newlines. Mitigation rejects commands containing control characters. (CVE-2025-15367)

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 based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory CENTOS-STREAM8:CLSA-2026:1772810768.
