EulerOS Virtualization 2.9.1 : python-pip (EulerOS-SA-2021-1728)

high Nessus Plugin ID 148612

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 :

 - ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in pip (all versions) because it installs the version with the highest version number, even if the user had intended to obtain a private package from a private index. This only affects use of the --extra-index-url option, and exploitation requires that the package does not already exist in the public index (and thus the attacker can put the package there with an arbitrary version number). NOTE: it has been reported that this is intended functionality and the user is responsible for using --extra-index-url securely.(CVE-2018-20225)

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.
