  - Netty is an open-source, asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of     maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients. In Netty before version 4.1.59.Final there is a     vulnerability on Unix-like systems involving an insecure temp file. When netty's multipart decoders are     used local information disclosure can occur via the local system temporary directory if temporary storing     uploads on the disk is enabled. On unix-like systems, the temporary directory is shared between all user.
    As such, writing to this directory using APIs that do not explicitly set the file/directory permissions     can lead to information disclosure. Of note, this does not impact modern MacOS Operating Systems. The     method File.createTempFile on unix-like systems creates a random file, but, by default will create this     file with the permissions -rw-r--r--. Thus, if sensitive information is written to this file, other     local users can read this information. This is the case in netty's AbstractDiskHttpData is vulnerable.
    This has been fixed in version 4.1.59.Final. As a workaround, one may specify your own java.io.tmpdir     when you start the JVM or use DefaultHttpDataFactory.setBaseDir(...) to set the directory to something     that is only readable by the current user. (CVE-2021-21290)

  - Netty is an open-source, asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of     maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients. In Netty (io.netty:netty-codec-http2) before     version 4.1.60.Final there is a vulnerability that enables request smuggling. If a Content-Length header     is present in the original HTTP/2 request, the field is not validated by `Http2MultiplexHandler` as it is     propagated up. This is fine as long as the request is not proxied through as HTTP/1.1. If the request     comes in as an HTTP/2 stream, gets converted into the HTTP/1.1 domain objects (`HttpRequest`,     `HttpContent`, etc.) via `Http2StreamFrameToHttpObjectCodec `and then sent up to the child channel's     pipeline and proxied through a remote peer as HTTP/1.1 this may result in request smuggling. In a proxy     case, users may assume the content-length is validated somehow, which is not the case. If the request is     forwarded to a backend channel that is a HTTP/1.1 connection, the Content-Length now has meaning and needs     to be checked. An attacker can smuggle requests inside the body as it gets downgraded from HTTP/2 to     HTTP/1.1. For an example attack refer to the linked GitHub Advisory. Users are only affected if all of     this is true: `HTTP2MultiplexCodec` or `Http2FrameCodec` is used, `Http2StreamFrameToHttpObjectCodec` is     used to convert to HTTP/1.1 objects, and these HTTP/1.1 objects are forwarded to another remote peer. This     has been patched in 4.1.60.Final As a workaround, the user can do the validation by themselves by     implementing a custom `ChannelInboundHandler` that is put in the `ChannelPipeline` behind     `Http2StreamFrameToHttpObjectCodec`. (CVE-2021-21295)

  - Netty is an open-source, asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of     maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients. In Netty (io.netty:netty-codec-http2) before     version 4.1.61.Final there is a vulnerability that enables request smuggling. The content-length header is     not correctly validated if the request only uses a single Http2HeaderFrame with the endStream set to to     true. This could lead to request smuggling if the request is proxied to a remote peer and translated to     HTTP/1.1. This is a followup of GHSA-wm47-8v5p-wjpj/CVE-2021-21295 which did miss to fix this one case.
    This was fixed as part of 4.1.61.Final. (CVE-2021-21409)

  - Sidekiq through 5.1.3 and 6.x through 6.2.0 allows XSS via the queue name of the live-poll feature when     Internet Explorer is used. (CVE-2021-30151)

  - Buffer overflow vulnerability in libsolv 2020-12-13 via the Solver * testcase_read(Pool *pool, FILE *fp,     const char *testcase, Queue *job, char **resultp, int *resultflagsp function at src/testcase.c: line 2334,     which could cause a denial of service (CVE-2021-3200)

  - sqlparse is a non-validating SQL parser module for Python. In sqlparse versions 0.4.0 and 0.4.1 there is a     regular Expression Denial of Service in sqlparse vulnerability. The regular expression may cause     exponential backtracking on strings containing many repetitions of '\r\n' in SQL comments. Only the     formatting feature that removes comments from SQL statements is affected by this regular expression. As a     workaround don't use the sqlformat.format function with keyword strip_comments=True or the --strip-     comments command line flag when using the sqlformat command line tool. The issues has been fixed in     sqlparse 0.4.2. (CVE-2021-32839)

  - Buffer overflow vulnerability in function pool_installable in src/repo.h in libsolv before 0.7.17 allows     attackers to cause a Denial of Service. (CVE-2021-33928)

  - Buffer overflow vulnerability in function pool_disabled_solvable in src/repo.h in libsolv before 0.7.17     allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service. (CVE-2021-33929)

  - Buffer overflow vulnerability in function pool_installable_whatprovides in src/repo.h in libsolv before     0.7.17 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service. (CVE-2021-33930)

  - Buffer overflow vulnerability in function prune_to_recommended in src/policy.c in libsolv before 0.7.17     allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service. (CVE-2021-33938)

  - A server side remote code execution vulnerability was found in Foreman project. A authenticated attacker     could use Sendmail configuration options to overwrite the defaults and perform command injection. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity and availability of system. Fixed     releases are 2.4.1, 2.5.1, 3.0.0. (CVE-2021-3584)

  - Puma is a HTTP 1.1 server for Ruby/Rack applications. Prior to versions 5.5.1 and 4.3.9, using `puma` with     a proxy which forwards HTTP header values which contain the LF character could allow HTTP request     smugggling. A client could smuggle a request through a proxy, causing the proxy to send a response back to     another unknown client. The only proxy which has this behavior, as far as the Puma team is aware of, is     Apache Traffic Server. If the proxy uses persistent connections and the client adds another request in via     HTTP pipelining, the proxy may mistake it as the first request's body. Puma, however, would see it as two     requests, and when processing the second request, send back a response that the proxy does not expect. If     the proxy has reused the persistent connection to Puma to send another request for a different client, the     second response from the first client will be sent to the second client. This vulnerability was patched in     Puma 5.5.1 and 4.3.9. As a workaround, do not use Apache Traffic Server with `puma`. (CVE-2021-41136)

  - The Candlepin component of Red Hat Satellite was affected by an improper authentication flaw. Few factors     could allow an attacker to use the SCA (simple content access) certificate for authentication with     Candlepin. (CVE-2021-4142)

  - In logback version 1.2.7 and prior versions, an attacker with the required privileges to edit     configurations files could craft a malicious configuration allowing to execute arbitrary code loaded from     LDAP servers. (CVE-2021-42550)

  - Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable     high performance protocol servers & clients. Netty prior to version 4.1.71.Final skips control chars when     they are present at the beginning / end of the header name. It should instead fail fast as these are not     allowed by the spec and could lead to HTTP request smuggling. Failing to do the validation might cause     netty to sanitize header names before it forward these to another remote system when used as proxy. This     remote system can't see the invalid usage anymore, and therefore does not do the validation itself. Users     should upgrade to version 4.1.71.Final. (CVE-2021-43797)

  - 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)

  - In Django 2.2 before 2.2.25, 3.1 before 3.1.14, and 3.2 before 3.2.10, HTTP requests for URLs with     trailing newlines could bypass upstream access control based on URL paths. (CVE-2021-44420)

  - Two heap-overflow vulnerabilities exist in openSUSE/libsolv libsolv through 13 Dec 2020 in the decisionmap     variable via the resolve_dependencies function at src/solver.c (line 1940 & line 1995), which could cause     a remote Denial of Service. (CVE-2021-44568)

  - An issue was discovered in Django 2.2 before 2.2.26, 3.2 before 3.2.11, and 4.0 before 4.0.1.
    UserAttributeSimilarityValidator incurred significant overhead in evaluating a submitted password that was     artificially large in relation to the comparison values. In a situation where access to user registration     was unrestricted, this provided a potential vector for a denial-of-service attack. (CVE-2021-45115)

  - An issue was discovered in Django 2.2 before 2.2.26, 3.2 before 3.2.11, and 4.0 before 4.0.1. Due to     leveraging the Django Template Language's variable resolution logic, the dictsort template filter was     potentially vulnerable to information disclosure, or an unintended method call, if passed a suitably     crafted key. (CVE-2021-45116)

  - Storage.save in Django 2.2 before 2.2.26, 3.2 before 3.2.11, and 4.0 before 4.0.1 allows directory     traversal if crafted filenames are directly passed to it. (CVE-2021-45452)

  - The {% debug %} template tag in Django 2.2 before 2.2.27, 3.2 before 3.2.12, and 4.0 before 4.0.2 does not     properly encode the current context. This may lead to XSS. (CVE-2022-22818)

  - Action Pack is a framework for handling and responding to web requests. Under certain circumstances     response bodies will not be closed. In the event a response is *not* notified of a `close`,     `ActionDispatch::Executor` will not know to reset thread local state for the next request. This can lead     to data being leaked to subsequent requests.This has been fixed in Rails 7.0.2.1, 6.1.4.5, 6.0.4.5, and     5.2.6.1. Upgrading is highly recommended, but to work around this problem a middleware described in GHSA-     wh98-p28r-vrc9 can be used. (CVE-2022-23633)

  - Puma is a Ruby/Rack web server built for parallelism. Prior to `puma` version `5.6.2`, `puma` may not     always call `close` on the response body. Rails, prior to version `7.0.2.2`, depended on the response body     being closed in order for its `CurrentAttributes` implementation to work correctly. The combination of     these two behaviors (Puma not closing the body + Rails' Executor implementation) causes information     leakage. This problem is fixed in Puma versions 5.6.2 and 4.3.11. This problem is fixed in Rails versions     7.02.2, 6.1.4.6, 6.0.4.6, and 5.2.6.2. Upgrading to a patched Rails _or_ Puma version fixes the     vulnerability. (CVE-2022-23634)

  - An issue was discovered in MultiPartParser in Django 2.2 before 2.2.27, 3.2 before 3.2.12, and 4.0 before     4.0.2. Passing certain inputs to multipart forms could result in an infinite loop when parsing files.
    (CVE-2022-23833)

  - In api.rb in Sidekiq before 5.2.10 and 6.4.0, there is no limit on the number of days when requesting     stats for the graph. This overloads the system, affecting the Web UI, and makes it unavailable to users.
    (CVE-2022-23837)

  - An issue was discovered in Django 2.2 before 2.2.28, 3.2 before 3.2.13, and 4.0 before 4.0.4.
    QuerySet.annotate(), aggregate(), and extra() methods are subject to SQL injection in column aliases via a     crafted dictionary (with dictionary expansion) as the passed **kwargs. (CVE-2022-28346)

  - A SQL injection issue was discovered in QuerySet.explain() in Django 2.2 before 2.2.28, 3.2 before 3.2.13,     and 4.0 before 4.0.4. This occurs by passing a crafted dictionary (with dictionary expansion) as the
    **options argument, and placing the injection payload in an option name. (CVE-2022-28347)

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2024:0262 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2019-18874:
    psutil (aka python-psutil) through 5.6.5 can have a double free. This occurs because of refcount     mishandling within a while or for loop that converts system data into a Python object.

    CVE-2019-20477:
    PyYAML 5.1 through 5.1.2 has insufficient restrictions on the load and load_all functions because of a     class deserialization issue, e.g., Popen is a class in the subprocess module. NOTE: this issue exists     because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-18342.

    CVE-2019-20907:
    In Lib/tarfile.py in Python through 3.8.3, an attacker is able to craft a TAR archive leading to an     infinite loop when opened by tarfile.open, because _proc_pax lacks header validation.

    CVE-2020-14343:
    A vulnerability was discovered in the PyYAML library in versions before 5.4, where it is susceptible to     arbitrary code execution when it processes untrusted YAML files through the full_load method or with the     FullLoader loader. Applications that use the library to process untrusted input may be vulnerable to this     flaw. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system by abusing the     python/object/new constructor. This flaw is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2020-1747.

    CVE-2020-14422:
    Lib/ipaddress.py in Python through 3.8.3 improperly computes hash values in the IPv4Interface and     IPv6Interface classes, which might allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service if an application     is affected by the performance of a dictionary containing IPv4Interface or IPv6Interface objects, and this     attacker can cause many dictionary entries to be created. This is fixed in: v3.5.10, v3.5.10rc1; v3.6.12;
    v3.7.9; v3.8.4, v3.8.4rc1, v3.8.5, v3.8.6, v3.8.6rc1; v3.9.0, v3.9.0b4, v3.9.0b5, v3.9.0rc1, v3.9.0rc2.

    CVE-2020-27619:
    In Python 3 through 3.9.0, the Lib/test/multibytecodec_support.py CJK codec tests call eval() on content     retrieved via HTTP.

    CVE-2020-8492:
    Python 2.7 through 2.7.17, 3.5 through 3.5.9, 3.6 through 3.6.10, 3.7 through 3.7.6, and 3.8 through 3.8.1     allows an HTTP server to conduct Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attacks against a client     because of urllib.request.AbstractBasicAuthHandler catastrophic backtracking.

    CVE-2021-23336:
    The package python/cpython from 0 and before 3.6.13, from 3.7.0 and before 3.7.10, from 3.8.0 and before     3.8.8, from 3.9.0 and before 3.9.2 are 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-2021-29921:
    In Python before 3,9,5, the ipaddress library mishandles leading zero characters in the octets of an IP     address string. This (in some situations) allows attackers to bypass access control that is based on IP     addresses.

    CVE-2021-3177:
    Python 3.x through 3.9.1 has a buffer overflow in PyCArg_repr in _ctypes/callproc.c, which may lead to     remote code execution in certain Python applications that accept floating-point numbers as untrusted     input, as demonstrated by a 1e300 argument to c_double.from_param. This occurs because sprintf is used     unsafely.

    CVE-2021-3426:
    There's a flaw in Python 3's pydoc. A local or adjacent attacker who discovers or is able to convince     another local or adjacent user to start a pydoc server could access the server and use it to disclose     sensitive information belonging to the other user that they would not normally be able to access. 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-2021-3733:
    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-2021-3737:
    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-2021-43818:
    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-2022-0391:
    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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2024:0261 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2019-11236:
    In the urllib3 library through 1.24.1 for Python, CRLF injection is possible if the attacker controls the     request parameter.

    CVE-2019-11324:
    The urllib3 library before 1.24.2 for Python mishandles certain cases where the desired set of CA     certificates is different from the OS store of CA certificates, which results in SSL connections     succeeding in situations where a verification failure is the correct outcome. This is related to use of     the ssl_context, ca_certs, or ca_certs_dir argument.

    CVE-2019-16056:
    An issue was discovered in Python through 2.7.16, 3.x through 3.5.7, 3.6.x through 3.6.9, and 3.7.x     through 3.7.4. The email module wrongly parses email addresses that contain multiple @ characters. An     application that uses the email module and implements some kind of checks on the From/To headers of a     message could be tricked into accepting an email address that should be denied. An attack may be the same     as in CVE-2019-11340; however, this CVE applies to Python more generally.

    CVE-2019-16935:
    The documentation XML-RPC server in Python through 2.7.16, 3.x through 3.6.9, and 3.7.x through 3.7.4 has     XSS via the server_title field. This occurs in Lib/DocXMLRPCServer.py in Python 2.x, and in     Lib/xmlrpc/server.py in Python 3.x. If set_server_title is called with untrusted input, arbitrary     JavaScript can be delivered to clients that visit the http URL for this server.

    CVE-2019-6446:
    An issue was discovered in NumPy 1.16.0 and earlier. It uses the pickle Python module unsafely, which     allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized object, as demonstrated by a     numpy.load call. NOTE: third parties dispute this issue because it is  a behavior that might have     legitimate applications in (for example)  loading serialized Python object arrays from trusted and     authenticated  sources

    CVE-2019-7164:
    SQLAlchemy through 1.2.17 and 1.3.x through 1.3.0b2 allows SQL Injection via the order_by parameter.

    CVE-2019-7548:
    SQLAlchemy 1.2.17 has SQL Injection when the group_by parameter can be controlled.

    CVE-2019-9636:
    Python 2.7.x through 2.7.16 and 3.x through 3.7.2 is affected by: Improper Handling of Unicode Encoding     (with an incorrect netloc) during NFKC normalization. The impact is: Information disclosure (credentials,     cookies, etc. that are cached against a given hostname). The components are: urllib.parse.urlsplit,     urllib.parse.urlparse. The attack vector is: A specially crafted URL could be incorrectly parsed to locate     cookies or authentication data and send that information to a different host than when parsed correctly.
    This is fixed in: v2.7.17, v2.7.17rc1, v2.7.18, v2.7.18rc1; v3.5.10, v3.5.10rc1, v3.5.7, v3.5.8,     v3.5.8rc1, v3.5.8rc2, v3.5.9; v3.6.10, v3.6.10rc1, v3.6.11, v3.6.11rc1, v3.6.12, v3.6.9, v3.6.9rc1;
    v3.7.3, v3.7.3rc1, v3.7.4, v3.7.4rc1, v3.7.4rc2, v3.7.5, v3.7.5rc1, v3.7.6, v3.7.6rc1, v3.7.7, v3.7.7rc1,     v3.7.8, v3.7.8rc1, v3.7.9.

    CVE-2019-9740:
    An issue was discovered in urllib2 in Python 2.x through 2.7.16 and urllib in Python 3.x through 3.7.3.
    CRLF injection is possible if the attacker controls a url parameter, as demonstrated by the first argument     to urllib.request.urlopen with \r\n (specifically in the query string after a ? character) followed by an     HTTP header or a Redis command. This is fixed in: v2.7.17, v2.7.17rc1, v2.7.18, v2.7.18rc1; v3.5.10,     v3.5.10rc1, v3.5.8, v3.5.8rc1, v3.5.8rc2, v3.5.9; v3.6.10, v3.6.10rc1, v3.6.11, v3.6.11rc1, v3.6.12,     v3.6.9, v3.6.9rc1; v3.7.4, v3.7.4rc1, v3.7.4rc2, v3.7.5, v3.7.5rc1, v3.7.6, v3.7.6rc1, v3.7.7, v3.7.7rc1,     v3.7.8, v3.7.8rc1, v3.7.9.

    CVE-2019-9947:
    An issue was discovered in urllib2 in Python 2.x through 2.7.16 and urllib in Python 3.x through 3.7.3.
    CRLF injection is possible if the attacker controls a url parameter, as demonstrated by the first argument     to urllib.request.urlopen with \r\n (specifically in the path component of a URL that lacks a ? character)     followed by an HTTP header or a Redis command. This is similar to the CVE-2019-9740 query string issue.
    This is fixed in: v2.7.17, v2.7.17rc1, v2.7.18, v2.7.18rc1; v3.5.10, v3.5.10rc1, v3.5.8, v3.5.8rc1,     v3.5.8rc2, v3.5.9; v3.6.10, v3.6.10rc1, v3.6.11, v3.6.11rc1, v3.6.12, v3.6.9, v3.6.9rc1; v3.7.4,     v3.7.4rc1, v3.7.4rc2, v3.7.5, v3.7.5rc1, v3.7.6, v3.7.6rc1, v3.7.7, v3.7.7rc1, v3.7.8, v3.7.8rc1, v3.7.9.

    CVE-2019-9948:
    urllib in Python 2.x through 2.7.16 supports the local_file: scheme, which makes it easier for remote     attackers to bypass protection mechanisms that blacklist file: URIs, as demonstrated by triggering a     urllib.urlopen('local_file:///etc/passwd') call.

    CVE-2020-26137:
    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-2020-27619:
    In Python 3 through 3.9.0, the Lib/test/multibytecodec_support.py CJK codec tests call eval() on content     retrieved via HTTP.

    CVE-2020-27783:
    A XSS vulnerability was discovered in python-lxml's clean module. The module's parser didn't properly     imitate browsers, which caused different behaviors between the sanitizer and the user's page. A remote     attacker could exploit this flaw to run arbitrary HTML/JS code.

    CVE-2020-28493:
    This affects the package jinja2 from 0.0.0 and before 2.11.3. The ReDoS vulnerability is mainly due to the     `_punctuation_re regex` operator and its use of multiple wildcards. The last wildcard is the most     exploitable as it searches for trailing punctuation. This issue can be mitigated by Markdown to format     user content instead of the urlize filter, or by implementing request timeouts and limiting process     memory.

    CVE-2021-20095:
    A flaw was found in python-babel. A path traversal vulnerability was found in how locale data files are     checked and loaded within python-babel, allowing a local attacker to trick an application that uses     python-babel to load a file outside of the intended locale directory. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as service availability.

    CVE-2021-23336:
    The package python/cpython from 0 and before 3.6.13, from 3.7.0 and before 3.7.10, from 3.8.0 and before     3.8.8, from 3.9.0 and before 3.9.2 are 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-2021-28957:
    An XSS vulnerability was discovered in python-lxml's clean module versions before 4.6.3. When disabling     the safe_attrs_only and forms arguments, the Cleaner class does not remove the formaction attribute     allowing for JS to bypass the sanitizer. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to run arbitrary JS     code on users who interact with incorrectly sanitized HTML. This issue is patched in lxml 4.6.3.

    CVE-2021-3177:
    Python 3.x through 3.9.1 has a buffer overflow in PyCArg_repr in _ctypes/callproc.c, which may lead to     remote code execution in certain Python applications that accept floating-point numbers as untrusted     input, as demonstrated by a 1e300 argument to c_double.from_param. This occurs because sprintf is used     unsafely.

    CVE-2021-3733:
    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-2021-3737:
    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-2021-4189:
    A flaw was found in Python, specifically in the FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client library in PASV     (passive) mode. The issue is how the FTP client trusts the host from the PASV response by default. This     flaw allows an attacker to set up a malicious FTP server that can trick FTP clients into connecting back     to a given IP address and port. This vulnerability could lead to FTP client scanning ports, which     otherwise would not have been possible.

    CVE-2021-42771:
    Babel.Locale in Babel before 2.9.1 allows attackers to load arbitrary locale .dat files (containing     serialized Python objects) via directory traversal, leading to code execution.

    CVE-2021-43818:
    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-2022-0391:
    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-2022-45061:
    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.
