Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
EUVDB-ID: #VU15760
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14647
CWE-ID:
CWE-611 - Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference ('XXE')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct XXE-attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of XML External Entities (XXEs) when parsing an XML file. A remote attacker can trick the victim into open an XML file that submits malicious input, trigger pathological hash collisions in Expat's internal data structures, consume large amounts CPU and RAM, and cause a denial of service (DoS) condition.
MitigationUpdate the affected package python.

EUVDB-ID: #VU17805
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-5010
CWE-ID:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the X509 certificate parser of the affected software improperly handles X509 certificates with a certificate extension that uses a Certificate Revocation List (CRL) distribution point with empty distributionPoint and cRLIssuer fields. A remote attacker can send a request to initiate a Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection using an X509 certificate that submits malicious input, trigger a NULL pointer dereference condition that causes the application to crash, resulting in a DoS condition.
MitigationUpdate the affected package python.
