CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: tensorflow / python-pip / python-idna (CVE-2024-3651)

high Nessus Plugin ID 204816

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of tensorflow / python-pip / python-idna installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-3651 advisory.

 - A vulnerability was identified in the kjd/idna library, specifically within the `idna.encode()` function, affecting version 3.6. The issue arises from the function's handling of crafted input strings, which can lead to quadratic complexity and consequently, a denial of service condition. This vulnerability is triggered by a crafted input that causes the `idna.encode()` function to process the input with considerable computational load, significantly increasing the processing time in a quadratic manner relative to the input size. (CVE-2024-3651)

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 affected packages.
