A defect was discovered in the Python “ssl” module where there is a memory race condition with the ssl.SSLContext methods “cert_store_stats()” and “get_ca_certs()”. The race condition can be triggered if the methods are called at the same time as certificates are loaded into the SSLContext, such as during the TLS handshake with a certificate directory configured. This issue is fixed in CPython 3.10.14, 3.11.9, 3.12.3, and 3.13.0a5.

The remote Fedora 41 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2024-308628ebb8 advisory.

    This is a security release of Python 3.11

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory.

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 python38 installed on the remote host is prior to 3.8.20-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2PYTHON3.8-2024-016 advisory.

    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)

    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)

    A defect was discovered in the Python ssl module where there is a memoryrace condition with the     ssl.SSLContext methods cert_store_stats() andget_ca_certs(). The race condition can be triggered if     the methods arecalled at the same time as certificates are loaded into the SSLContext,such as during the     TLS handshake with a certificate directory configured.This issue is fixed in CPython 3.10.14, 3.11.9,     3.12.3, and 3.13.0a5. (CVE-2024-0397)

    An issue was found in the CPython `zipfile` module affecting versions 3.12.2, 3.11.8, 3.10.13, 3.9.18, and     3.8.18 and prior.

    The zipfile module is vulnerable to quoted-overlap zip-bombs which exploit the zip format to create a     zip-bomb with a high compression ratio. The fixed versions of CPython makes the zipfile module reject zip     archives which overlap entries in the archive. (CVE-2024-0450)

    The ipaddress module contained incorrect information about whether certain IPv4 and IPv6 addresses were     designated as globally reachable or private. This affected the is_private and is_global properties of     the ipaddress.IPv4Address, ipaddress.IPv4Network, ipaddress.IPv6Address, and ipaddress.IPv6Network     classes, where values wouldn't be returned in accordance with the latest information from the IANA     Special-Purpose Address Registries.

    CPython 3.12.4 and 3.13.0a6 contain updated information from these registries and thus have the intended     behavior. (CVE-2024-4032)

    There is a MEDIUM severity vulnerability affecting CPython.





    Regular expressions that allowed excessive backtracking during tarfile.TarFile header parsing are     vulnerable to ReDoS via specifically-crafted tar archives. (CVE-2024-6232)

    There is a MEDIUM severity vulnerability affecting CPython.

    Theemail module didn't properly quote newlines for email headers whenserializing an email message allowing     for header injection when an emailis serialized. (CVE-2024-6923)

    There is a LOW severity vulnerability affecting CPython, specifically the'http.cookies' standard library     module.

    When parsing cookies that contained backslashes for quoted characters inthe cookie value, the parser would     use an algorithm with quadraticcomplexity, resulting in excess CPU resources being used while parsing     thevalue. (CVE-2024-7592)

    There is a severity vulnerability affecting the CPython zipfilemodule.

    When iterating over names of entries in a zip archive (for example, methodsof zipfile.ZipFile like     namelist(), iterdir(), extractall(), etc)the process can be put into an infinite loop with a     maliciously craftedzip archive. This defect applies when reading only metadata or extractingthe contents     of the zip archive. Programs that are not handlinguser-controlled zip archives are not affected.

    Multiple security issues were discovered in Python, a high-level,     interactive, object-oriented language:

    CVE-2024-0397

        A race condition in the ssl module was found when accessing         CA certificates.

    CVE-2024-4032

        The ipaddress module contained incorrect information whether         some ipv4 and ipv6 address ranges are designated as globally         reachable or private.

    CVE-2024-8088

        Incorrect handling of path names in the zipfile module could         result in an infinite loop when processing a zip archive         (resulting in denial of service)

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 3.11.2-6+deb12u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your python3.11 packages.

    For the detailed security status of python3.11 please refer to     its security tracker page at:

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-699 advisory.

    A defect was discovered in the Python ssl module where there is a memoryrace condition with the     ssl.SSLContext methods cert_store_stats() andget_ca_certs(). The race condition can be triggered if     the methods arecalled at the same time as certificates are loaded into the SSLContext,such as during the     TLS handshake with a certificate directory configured.This issue is fixed in CPython 3.10.14, 3.11.9,     3.12.3, and 3.13.0a5.

The version of python3 installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-0397 advisory.

  - A defect was discovered in the Python ssl module where there is a memory race condition with the     ssl.SSLContext methods cert_store_stats() and get_ca_certs(). The race condition can be triggered if     the methods are called at the same time as certificates are loaded into the SSLContext, such as during the     TLS handshake with a certificate directory configured.

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6928-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the Python ssl module contained a memory race condition when handling the APIs to     obtain the CA certificates and certificate store statistics. This could possibly result in applications     obtaining wrong results, leading to various SSL issues. (CVE-2024-0397)

    It was discovered that the Python ipaddress module contained incorrect information about which IP address     ranges were considered private or globally reachable. This could possibly result in applications     applying incorrect security policies. (CVE-2024-4032)

The versions of Oracle Database Server installed on the remote host are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the July 2024 CPU advisory.

  - Netty project is an event-driven asynchronous network application framework. In versions prior to     4.1.86.Final, a StackOverflowError can be raised when parsing a malformed crafted message due to an     infinite recursion. This issue is patched in version 4.1.86.Final. There is no workaround, except using a     custom HaProxyMessageDecoder. (CVE-2022-41881)

  - Netty project is an event-driven asynchronous network application framework. Starting in version     4.1.83.Final and prior to 4.1.86.Final, when calling `DefaultHttpHeadesr.set` with an _iterator_ of     values, header value validation was not performed, allowing malicious header values in the iterator to     perform HTTP Response Splitting. This issue has been patched in version 4.1.86.Final. Integrators can work     around the issue by changing the `DefaultHttpHeaders.set(CharSequence, Iterator<?>)` call, into a     `remove()` call, and call `add()` in a loop over the iterator of values. (CVE-2022-41915)

  - A defect was discovered in the Python ssl module where there is a memory race condition with the     ssl.SSLContext methods cert_store_stats() and get_ca_certs().
