Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Data Handling

EUVDB-ID: #VU40247

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2013-7440

CWE-ID: CWE-19 - Data Handling

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

The ssl.match_hostname function in CPython (aka Python) before 2.7.9 and 3.x before 3.3.3 does not properly handle wildcards in hostnames, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via a crafted certificate.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.

Vulnerable software versions

Fedora: 22

python-pymongo: before 3.0.3-1.fc22

2) Resource management error

EUVDB-ID: #VU110147

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2013-2099

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

Algorithmic complexity vulnerability in the ssl.match_hostname function in Python 3.2.x, 3.3.x, and earlier, and unspecified versions of python-backports-ssl_match_hostname as used for older Python versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via multiple wildcard characters in the common name in a certificate.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.
