The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:6793 advisory.

    Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language, which includes modules,     classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to     many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems.

    The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: rh-python38-python (3.8.18), rh-     python38-python-cryptography (2.8), rh-python38-python-pip (19.3.1), rh-python38-python-requests (2.22.0),     rh-python38-python-setuptools (41.6.0), rh-python38-python-wheel (0.33.6).

    Security Fix(es):

    * python: urllib.parse url blocklisting bypass (CVE-2023-24329)

    * python: TLS handshake bypass (CVE-2023-40217)

    * python: tarfile module directory traversal (CVE-2007-4559)

    * pypa-setuptools: Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) in package_index.py (CVE-2022-40897)

    * python-wheel: remote attackers can cause denial of service via attacker controlled input to wheel cli     (CVE-2022-40898)

    * python: CPU denial of service via inefficient IDNA decoder (CVE-2022-45061)

    * python-cryptography: memory corruption via immutable objects (CVE-2023-23931)

    * python-requests: Unintended leak of Proxy-Authorization header (CVE-2023-32681)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
