EulerOS Virtualization 3.0.2.2 : python-ecdsa (EulerOS-SA-2021-2161)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 151387

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

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

- This is an easy-to-use implementation of ECDSA cryptography (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm), implemented purely in Python, released under the MIT license. With this library, you can quickly create keypairs (signing key and verifying key), sign messages, and verify the signatures. The keys and signatures are very short, making them easy to handle and incorporate into other protocols.(CVE-2019-14859)

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-ecdsa package.
