openSUSE 15 Security Update : python-wxPython (SUSE-SU-2024:3964-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 210764

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE- SU-2024:3964-1 advisory.

Security issue fixed:

- CVE-2024-50602: Fixed a denial of service in the vendored libexpat's XML_ResumeParser function (bsc#1232590).

Non-security issues fixed:

- rebuilt for python 3.11 (bsc#1228252).
- add repack script, do not include packaging/ dir in sources
- Reduce complexity by not rewriting subpackages at all.
- Appease factory-auto bot about package src name.
- Add additional patches fixing the situation with Python 3.10 compatibility.
- Split out the TW python3 flavors into multibuild using the python_subpackage_only mechanism: Multiple python3 flavors sequentially require too much space and time in one build.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE 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 python311-wxPython and / or python311-wxPython-lang packages.
