high Nessus Plugin ID 147494

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the python-pip packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - The pip package before 19.2 for Python allows Directory Traversal when a URL is given in an install command, because a Content-Disposition header can have ../ in a filename, as demonstrated by overwriting the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file. This occurs in
 _download_http_url in
 _internal/download.py.(CVE-2019-20916)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected python-pip package.
