EulerOS 2.0 SP9 : python-urllib3 (EulerOS-SA-2023-3348)

high Nessus Plugin ID 188544

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the python-urllib3 package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python. urllib3 doesn't treat the `Cookie` HTTP header special or provide any helpers for managing cookies over HTTP, that is the responsibility of the user.
 However, it is possible for a user to specify a `Cookie` header and unknowingly leak information via HTTP redirects to a different origin if that user doesn't disable redirects explicitly. This issue has been patched in urllib3 version 1.26.17 or 2.0.5. (CVE-2023-43804)

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-urllib3 packages.
