It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-116 advisory.

    A flaw was found in python. In algorithms with quadratic time complexity using non-binary bases, when     using int(text), a system could take 50ms to parse an int string with 100,000 digits and 5s for 1,000,000     digits (float, decimal, int.from_bytes(), and int() for binary bases 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 are not     affected). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2020-10735)

    An issue in the urllib.parse component of Python before v3.11 allows attackers to bypass blocklisting     methods by supplying a URL that starts with blank characters. (CVE-2023-24329)

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:4251-1 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in python. In algorithms with quadratic time complexity using non-binary bases, when     using int(text), a system could take 50ms to parse an int string with 100,000 digits and 5s for     1,000,000 digits (float, decimal, int.from_bytes(), and int() for binary bases 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 are not     affected). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2020-10735)

  - An issue was discovered in Python before 3.11.1. An unnecessary quadratic algorithm exists in one path     when processing some inputs to the IDNA (RFC 3490) decoder, such that a crafted, unreasonably long name     being presented to the decoder could lead to a CPU denial of service. Hostnames are often supplied by     remote servers that could be controlled by a malicious actor; in such a scenario, they could trigger     excessive CPU consumption on the client attempting to make use of an attacker-supplied supposed hostname.
    For example, the attack payload could be placed in the Location header of an HTTP response with status     code 302. A fix is planned in 3.11.1, 3.10.9, 3.9.16, 3.8.16, and 3.7.16. (CVE-2022-45061)

According to the versions of the python3 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    Directory traversal vulnerability in the (1) extract and (2) extractall functions in the tarfile module in     Python allows user-assisted remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) sequence in     filenames in a TAR archive, a related issue to CVE-2001-1267.(CVE-2007-4559)

    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)

    A flaw was found in python. In algorithms with quadratic time complexity using non-binary bases, when     using int('text'), a system could take 50ms to parse an int string with 100,000 digits and 5s for     1,000,000 digits (float, decimal, int.from_bytes(), and int() for binary bases 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 are not     affected). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.(CVE-2020-10735)

    Python 3.x through 3.10 has an open redirection vulnerability in lib/http/server.py due to no protection     against multiple (/) at the beginning of URI path which may leads to information disclosure. NOTE: this is     disputed by a third party because the http.server.html documentation page states 'Warning: http.server is     not recommended for production. It only implements basic security checks.'(CVE-2021-28861)

    Python 3.9.x before 3.9.16 and 3.10.x before 3.10.9 on Linux allows local privilege escalation in a non-     default configuration. The Python multiprocessing library, when used with the forkserver start method on     Linux, allows pickles to be deserialized from any user in the same machine local network namespace, which     in many system configurations means any user on the same machine. Pickles can execute arbitrary code.
    Thus, this allows for local user privilege escalation to the user that any forkserver process is running     as. Setting multiprocessing.util.abstract_sockets_supported to False is a workaround. The forkserver start     method for multiprocessing is not the default start method. This issue is Linux specific because only     Linux supports abstract namespace sockets. CPython before 3.9 does not make use of Linux abstract     namespace sockets by default. Support for users manually specifying an abstract namespace socket was added     as a bugfix in 3.7.8 and 3.8.3, but users would need to make specific uncommon API calls in order to do     that in CPython before 3.9.(CVE-2022-42919)

    An issue was discovered in Python before 3.11.1. An unnecessary quadratic algorithm exists in one path     when processing some inputs to the IDNA (RFC 3490) decoder, such that a crafted, unreasonably long name     being presented to the decoder could lead to a CPU denial of service. Hostnames are often supplied by     remote servers that could be controlled by a malicious actor; in such a scenario, they could trigger     excessive CPU consumption on the client attempting to make use of an attacker-supplied supposed hostname.

    An issue in the urllib.parse component of Python before 3.11.4 allows attackers to bypass blocklisting     methods by supplying a URL that starts with blank characters.(CVE-2023-24329)

    An issue was discovered in Python before 3.8.18, 3.9.x before 3.9.18, 3.10.x before 3.10.13, and 3.11.x     before 3.11.5. It primarily affects servers (such as HTTP servers) that use TLS client authentication. If     a TLS server-side socket is created, receives data into the socket buffer, and then is closed quickly,     there is a brief window where the SSLSocket instance will detect the socket as 'not connected' and won't     initiate a handshake, but buffered data will still be readable from the socket buffer. This data will not     be authenticated if the server-side TLS peer is expecting client certificate authentication, and is     indistinguishable from valid TLS stream data. Data is limited in size to the amount that will fit in the     buffer. (The TLS connection cannot directly be used for data exfiltration because the vulnerable code path     requires that the connection be closed on initialization of the SSLSocket.)(CVE-2023-40217)

    Allows modifying some file metadata (e.g. last modified) with filter='data' or file permissions (chmod)     with filter='tar' of files outside the extraction directory. You are affected by this vulnerability if     using the tarfile module to extract untrusted tar archives using TarFile.extractall() or TarFile.extract()     using the filter= parameter with a value of 'data' or 'tar'. See the tarfile extraction filters     documentation https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-extraction-filter  for more     information. Only Python versions 3.12 or later are affected by these vulnerabilities, earlier versions     don't include the extraction filter feature. Note that for Python 3.14 or later the default value of     filter= changed from 'no filtering' to `'data', so if you are relying on this new default behavior then     your usage is also affected. Note that none of these vulnerabilities significantly affect the installation     of source distributions which are tar archives as source distributions already allow arbitrary code     execution during the build process. However when evaluating source distributions it's important to avoid     installing source distributions with suspicious links. (CVE-2024-12718)

    Allows the extraction filter to be ignored, allowing symlink targets to point outside the destination     directory, and the modification of some file metadata. You are affected by this vulnerability if using the     tarfile module to extract untrusted tar archives using TarFile.extractall() or TarFile.extract() using the     filter= parameter with a value of 'data' or 'tar'.

    When using a TarFile.errorlevel = 0 and extracting with a filter the documented behavior is that any     filtered members would be skipped and not extracted. However the actual behavior of TarFile.errorlevel = 0     in affected versions is that the member would still be extracted and not skipped.(CVE-2025-4435)

    Allows arbitrary filesystem writes outside the extraction directory during extraction with filter='data'.

The version of AHV installed on the remote host is prior to 20230302.102005. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AHV-20230302.207 advisory.

  - In Expat (aka libexpat) before 2.4.3, a left shift by 29 (or more) places in the storeAtts function in     xmlparse.c can lead to realloc misbehavior (e.g., allocating too few bytes, or only freeing memory).
    (CVE-2021-45960)

  - The PKCS#11 feature in ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 9.3p2 has an insufficiently trustworthy search path,     leading to remote code execution if an agent is forwarded to an attacker-controlled system. (Code in     /usr/lib is not necessarily safe for loading into ssh-agent.) NOTE: this issue exists because of an     incomplete fix for CVE-2016-10009. (CVE-2023-38408)

  - An arbitrary file write vulnerability was found in GNU gzip's zgrep utility. When zgrep is applied on the     attacker's chosen file name (for example, a crafted file name), this can overwrite an attacker's content     to an arbitrary attacker-selected file. This flaw occurs due to insufficient validation when processing     filenames with two or more newlines where selected content and the target file names are embedded in     crafted multi-line file names. This flaw allows a remote, low privileged attacker to force zgrep to write     arbitrary files on the system. (CVE-2022-1271)

  - http.client in Python 3.x before 3.5.10, 3.6.x before 3.6.12, 3.7.x before 3.7.9, and 3.8.x before 3.8.5     allows CRLF injection if the attacker controls the HTTP request method, as demonstrated by inserting CR     and LF control characters in the first argument of HTTPConnection.request. (CVE-2020-26116)

  - urllib3 before 1.25.9 allows CRLF injection if the attacker controls the HTTP request method, as     demonstrated by inserting CR and LF control characters in the first argument of putrequest(). NOTE: this     is similar to CVE-2020-26116. (CVE-2020-26137)
