critical Nessus Plugin ID 136112

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for python-pip.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:1916 advisory.

pip is a package management system used to install and manage software packages written in Python. Many packages can be found in the Python Package Index (PyPI). pip is a recursive acronym that can stand for either Pip Installs Packages or Pip Installs Python.

Security Fix(es):

* python-urllib3: Cross-host redirect does not remove Authorization header allow for credential exposure (CVE-2018-20060)

* python-urllib3: CRLF injection due to not encoding the '\r\n' sequence leading to possible attack on internal service (CVE-2019-11236)

* python-urllib3: Certification mishandle when error should be thrown (CVE-2019-11324)

* python-requests: Redirect from HTTPS to HTTP does not remove Authorization header (CVE-2018-18074)
