According to the versions of the python-setuptools package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    A vulnerability in the package_index module of pypa/setuptools versions up to 69.1.1 allows for remote     code execution via its download functions. These functions, which are used to download packages from URLs     provided by users or retrieved from package index servers, are susceptible to code injection. If these     functions are exposed to user-controlled inputs, such as package URLs, they can execute arbitrary commands     on the system. The issue is fixed in version 70.0.(CVE-2024-6345)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS python-setuptools security advisory.

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A vulnerability in the package_index module of pypa/setuptools versions up to 69.1.1 allows for remote     code execution via its download functions. These functions, which are used to download packages from URLs     provided by users or retrieved from package index servers, are susceptible to code injection.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:6220 advisory.

    Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language, which includes modules,     classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to     many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems.

    Security Fix(es):

    * pypa/setuptools: Remote code execution via download functions in the package_index module in     pypa/setuptools (CVE-2024-6345)

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-7.0 advisory.

  - squashfs_opendir in unsquash-2.c in Squashfs-Tools 4.5 allows Directory Traversal, a different     vulnerability than CVE-2021-40153. A squashfs filesystem that has been crafted to include a symbolic link     and then contents under the same filename in a filesystem can cause unsquashfs to first create the     symbolic link pointing outside the expected directory, and then the subsequent write operation will cause     the unsquashfs process to write through the symbolic link elsewhere in the filesystem. (CVE-2021-41072)

  - An issue was discovered in libexpat before 2.6.3. nextScaffoldPart in xmlparse.c can have an integer     overflow for m_groupSize on 32-bit platforms (where UINT_MAX equals SIZE_MAX). (CVE-2024-45492)

  - Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions, Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in Apache     Tomcat. When processing an HTTP/2 stream, Tomcat did not handle some cases of excessive HTTP headers     correctly. This led to a miscounting of active HTTP/2 streams which in turn led to the use of an incorrect     infinite timeout which allowed connections to remain open which should have been closed. This issue     affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M20, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.24, from 9.0.0-M1     through 9.0.89. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0-M21, 10.1.25 or 9.0.90, which fixes the     issue. (CVE-2024-34750)

  - Python Packaging Authority (PyPA) setuptools before 65.5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service via HTML in a crafted package or custom PackageIndex page. There is a Regular Expression Denial of     Service (ReDoS) in package_index.py. (CVE-2022-40897)

  - cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers. In     affected versions `Cipher.update_into` would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol,     but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as `bytes`) to be mutated,     thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This now correctly raises an     exception. This issue has been present since `update_into` was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.
    (CVE-2023-23931)
