An update of the python3 package has been released.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED12 / SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:3524-1 advisory.

  - There's a flaw in urllib's AbstractBasicAuthHandler class. An attacker who controls a malicious HTTP     server that an HTTP client (such as web browser) connects to, could trigger a Regular Expression Denial of     Service (ReDOS) during an authentication request with a specially crafted payload that is sent by the     server to the client. The greatest threat that this flaw poses is to application availability.
    (CVE-2021-3733)

  - A flaw was found in python. An improperly handled HTTP response in the HTTP client code of python may     allow a remote attacker, who controls the HTTP server, to make the client script enter an infinite loop,     consuming CPU time. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3737)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2808 advisory.

    There were a couple of vulnerabilites found in src:python3.5, the Python interpreter v3.5, and are as     follows: CVE-2021-3733 The ReDoS-vulnerable regex has quadratic worst-case complexity and it allows cause     a denial of service when identifying crafted invalid RFCs. This ReDoS issue is on the client side and     needs remote attackers to control the HTTP server. CVE-2021-3737 HTTP client can get stuck infinitely     reading len(line) < 64k lines after receiving a 100 Continue HTTP response. This could lead to the client     being a bandwidth sink for anyone in control of a server. For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been     fixed in version 3.5.3-1+deb9u5. We recommend that you upgrade your python3.5 packages. For the detailed     security status of python3.5 please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-     tracker.debian.org/tracker/python3.5 Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to     apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at:

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2021:4104-1 advisory.

  - There's a flaw in Python 3's pydoc.

The     highest risk of this flaw is to data confidentiality. This flaw affects Python versions before 3.8.9,     Python versions before 3.9.3 and Python versions before 3.10.0a7. (CVE-2021-3426)

  - python: urllib: Regular expression DoS in AbstractBasicAuthHandler (CVE-2021-3733)

The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2022:1764 advisory.

  - There's a flaw in urllib's AbstractBasicAuthHandler class. An attacker who controls a malicious HTTP     server that an HTTP client (such as web browser) connects to, could trigger a Regular Expression Denial of     Service (ReDOS) during an authentication request with a specially crafted payload that is sent by the     server to the client.

  - lxml is a library for processing XML and HTML in the Python language. Prior to version 4.6.5, the HTML     Cleaner in lxml.html lets certain crafted script content pass through, as well as script content in SVG     files embedded using data URIs. Users that employ the HTML cleaner in a security relevant context should     upgrade to lxml 4.6.5 to receive a patch. There are no known workarounds available. (CVE-2021-43818)

  - A flaw was found in Python, specifically within the urllib.parse module. This module helps break Uniform     Resource Locator (URL) strings into components. The issue involves how the urlparse method does not     sanitize input and allows characters like '\r' and '\n' in the URL path. This flaw allows an attacker to     input a crafted URL, leading to injection attacks. This flaw affects Python versions prior to 3.10.0b1,     3.9.5, 3.8.11, 3.7.11 and 3.6.14. (CVE-2022-0391)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of IBM Cognos Analytics installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:

  - OpenSSL is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the EVP_PKEY_decrypt()     function within implementation of the SM2 decryption. By sending specially crafted SM2 content, a remote     attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to     crash. (CVE-2021-3711)

  - Async could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by prototype pollution     in the mapValues() method. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file, an attacker could     exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
    (CVE-2021-43138)

  - Apache Commons IO could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system, caused by improper     input validation by the FileNameUtils.normalize method. An attacker could send a specially-crafted URL     request containing 'dot dot' sequences (/../) to view arbitrary files on the system.
    (CVE-2021-29425)

The version of python27 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.7.18-2.142. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2022-1593 advisory.

    In Python3's Lib/test/multibytecodec_support.py CJK codec tests call eval() on content retrieved via HTTP.
    (CVE-2020-27619)

    The package python/cpython is vulnerable to Web Cache Poisoning via urllib.parse.parse_qsl and     urllib.parse.parse_qs by using a vector called parameter cloaking. When the attacker can separate query     parameters using a semicolon (;), they can cause a difference in the interpretation of the request between     the proxy (running with default configuration) and the server. This can result in malicious requests being     cached as completely safe ones, as the proxy would usually not see the semicolon as a separator, and     therefore would not include it in a cache key of an unkeyed parameter. (CVE-2021-23336)

    There's a flaw in urllib's AbstractBasicAuthHandler class. An attacker who controls a malicious HTTP     server that an HTTP client (such as web browser) connects to, could trigger a Regular Expression Denial of     Service (ReDOS) during an authentication request with a specially crafted payload that is sent by the     server to the client.
