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

  - 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.(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     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.(CVE-2019-9947)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2019-3335 advisory.

  - 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-2019-9740)

    (CVE-2019-9947)

  - 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-2019-9948)

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

  - ** DISPUTED ** 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-2019-6446)

  - 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-2019-11324)
