CentOS 9 : python3.9-3.9.19-4.el9

high Nessus Plugin ID 204131

Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing a security update for python-unversioned-command.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the python3.9-3.9.19-4.el9 build changelog.

 - The ipaddress module contained incorrect information about whether certain IPv4 and IPv6 addresses were designated as globally reachable or private. This affected the is_private and is_global properties of the ipaddress.IPv4Address, ipaddress.IPv4Network, ipaddress.IPv6Address, and ipaddress.IPv6Network classes, where values wouldn't be returned in accordance with the latest information from the IANA Special-Purpose Address Registries. CPython 3.12.4 and 3.13.0a6 contain updated information from these registries and thus have the intended behavior. (CVE-2024-4032)

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 CentOS 9 Stream python-unversioned-command package.
