CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: python3 (CVE-2024-8088)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 207871

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of python3 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-2024-8088 advisory.

 - There is a HIGH severity vulnerability affecting the CPython zipfile module affecting zipfile.Path.
 Note that the more common API zipfile.ZipFile class is unaffected. When iterating over names of entries in a zip archive (for example, methods of zipfile.Path like namelist(), iterdir(), etc) the process can be put into an infinite loop with a maliciously crafted zip archive. This defect applies when reading only metadata or extracting the contents of the zip archive. Programs that are not handling user- controlled zip archives are not affected. (CVE-2024-8088)

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.
