Amazon Linux 2 : python-pip (ALAS-2020-1389)

high Nessus Plugin ID 133553

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

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

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)

Solution

Run 'yum update python-pip' to update your system.
