EulerOS 2.0 SP11 : python-zipp (EulerOS-SA-2024-2567)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 208381

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the python-zipp package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the jaraco/zipp library, affecting all versions prior to 3.19.1. The vulnerability is triggered when processing a specially crafted zip file that leads to an infinite loop. This issue also impacts the zipfile module of CPython, as features from the third-party zipp library are later merged into CPython, and the affected code is identical in both projects. The infinite loop can be initiated through the use of functions affecting the `Path` module in both zipp and zipfile, such as `joinpath`, the overloaded division operator, and `iterdir`. Although the infinite loop is not resource exhaustive, it prevents the application from responding. The vulnerability was addressed in version 3.19.1 of jaraco/zipp.(CVE-2024-5569)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS python-zipp security advisory.

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 python-zipp packages.
