Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple security issues were discovered in Python.

CVE-2019-20907

In Lib/tarfile.py, an attacker is able to craft a TAR archive leading to an infinite loop when opened by tarfile.open, because _proc_pax lacks header validation

CVE-2020-26116

http.client allows CRLF injection if the attacker controls the HTTP request method

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 3.5.3-1+deb9u3.
