Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Open redirect
EUVDB-ID: #VU35027
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

EUVDB-ID: #VU370
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-2183
CWE-ID:
CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to decrypt transmitted data.
The vulnerability exists due to remote user's ability to control the network and capture long duration 3DES CBC mode encrypted session during which he can see a part of the text. In case of repeated sending the attacker can read the part and reconstruct the whole text.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to decode transmitted data. This vulnerability is known as SWEET32.
MitigationUpdate the affected package python.
