medium Nessus Plugin ID 165326

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5632-1 advisory.

 Sebastian Chnelik discovered that OAuthLib incorrectly handled certain redirect uris. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OAuthLib to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected python3-oauthlib package.
