RHEL 8 : RHOSP 17.1.4 (python-requests) (RHSA-2024:9988)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 211794

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing a security update for RHOSP 17.1.4 (python-requests).

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2024:9988 advisory.

 Most existing Python modules for sending HTTP requests are extremely verbose and cumbersome. Pythons built-in urllib2 module provides most of the HTTP capabilities you should need, but the API is thoroughly broken.
 This library is designed to make HTTP requests easy for developers.

 Security Fix(es):

 * subsequent requests to the same host ignore cert verification (CVE-2024-35195)

 For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 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 RHEL RHOSP 17.1.4 (python-requests) package based on the guidance in RHSA-2024:9988.
