Synopsis
The remote CentOS host is missing one or more security updates for python-unversioned-command.Description
The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the python3.9-3.9.14-1.el9 build changelog.- In Python (aka CPython) up to 3.10.8, the mailcap module does not add escape characters into commands discovered in the system mailcap file. This may allow attackers to inject shell commands into applications that call mailcap.findmatch with untrusted input (if they lack validation of user-provided filenames or arguments). The fix is also back-ported to 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 (CVE-2015-20107)
- A flaw was found in python. In algorithms with quadratic time complexity using non-binary bases, when using int(text), a system could take 50ms to parse an int string with 100,000 digits and 5s for 1,000,000 digits (float, decimal, int.from_bytes(), and int() for binary bases 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 are not affected). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2020-10735)
- Python 3.x through 3.10 has an open redirection vulnerability in lib/http/server.py due to no protection against multiple (/) at the beginning of URI path which may leads to information disclosure. NOTE: this is disputed by a third party because the http.server.html documentation page states Warning: http.server is not recommended for production. It only implements basic security checks. (CVE-2021-28861)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
