Synopsis
The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for python3.12.Description
The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:6961 advisory.Python 3.12 is an accessible, high-level, dynamically typed, interpreted programming language, designed with an emphasis on code readability. It includes an extensive standard library, and has a vast ecosystem of third-party libraries. The python3.12 package provides the python3.12 executable: the reference interpreter for the Python language, version 3. The majority of its standard library is provided in the python3.12-libs package, which should be installed automatically along with python3.12. The remaining parts of the Python standard library are broken out into the python3.12-tkinter and python3.12-test packages, which may need to be installed separately. Documentation for Python is provided in the python3.12-docs package. Packages containing additional libraries for Python are generally named with the python3.12- prefix. For the unversioned python executable, see manual page unversioned-python.
Security Fix(es):
* python: incorrect IPv4 and IPv6 private ranges (CVE-2024-4032)
* cpython: python: email module doesn't properly quotes newlines in email headers, allowing header injection (CVE-2024-6923)
* python: cpython: Iterating over a malicious ZIP file may lead to Denial of Service (CVE-2024-8088)
