 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3614-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Sean Whitton October 11, 2023 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : python3.7 Version : 3.7.3-2+deb10u6 CVE ID : CVE-2022-48560 CVE-2022-48564 CVE-2022-48565 CVE-2022-48566 CVE-2023-40217

 Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Python 3.7.

 CVE-2022-48560

 A use-after-free problem was found in the heappushpop function in the heapq module.

 CVE-2022-48564

 A potential denial-of-service vulnerability was discovered in the read_ints function used when processing certain malformed Apple Property List files in binary format.

 CVE-2022-48565

 An XML External Entity (XXE) issue was discovered. In order to avoid possible vulnerabilities, the plistlib module no longer accepts entity declarations in XML plist files.

 CVE-2022-48566

 Possible constant-time-defeating compiler optimisations were discovered in the accumulator variable in hmac.compare_digest.

 CVE-2023-40217

 It was discovered that it might be possible to bypass some of the protections implemented by the TLS handshake in the ssl.SSLSocket class. For example, unauthenticated data might be read by a program expecting data authenticated by client certificates.

 For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 3.7.3-2+deb10u6.

 We recommend that you upgrade your python3.7 packages.
