Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 9 vulnerabilities.
1) CRLF injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU18829
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 4.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9740
CWE-ID:
CWE-93 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform CRLF injection attacks.
The vulnerability exists within urllib2 implementation for Python 2.x and urllib3 implementation for Python 3.x when processing the path component of a URL after the "?" character within the urllib.request.urlopen() call. A remote attacker with ability to control URL, passed to the application, can use CRLF sequences to split the HTTP request and inject arbitrary HTTP headers into request, made by the application.

2) CRLF injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU18828
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 4.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9947
CWE-ID:
CWE-93 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform CRLF injection attacks.
The vulnerability exists within urllib2 implementation for Python 2.x and urllib3 implementation for Python 3.x when processing the path component of a URL that lacks the "?" character within the urllib.request.urlopen() call. A remote attacker with ability to control URL, passed to the application, can use CRLF sequences to split the HTTP request and inject arbitrary HTTP headers into request, made by the application.

3) Input validation error
EUVDB-ID: #VU22617
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-16056
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing multiple occurrences of the "@" character in an email address. An application that uses the email module and implements some kind of
checks on the From/To headers of a message could be tricked into
accepting an email address that should be denied.

4) NULL pointer dereference
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.

5) Information disclosure
EUVDB-ID: #VU19256
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20852
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the "http.cookiejar.DefaultPolicy.domain_return_ok" in the "Lib/http/cookiejar.py" file returns incorrect results during cookie domain checks. A remote attacker can trick a victim to execute a program that uses the "http.cookiejar.DefaultPolicy" to make an HTTP connection to an attacker-controlled server with a hostname that has another valid hostname as a suffix.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system, such as existing cookies. Mitigation

6) Improper input validation
EUVDB-ID: #VU12282
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 7.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1061
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on he target system.
The weakness exists due to the way catastrophic backtracking was implemented in python's difflib.IS_LINE_JUNK method difflib. A remote attacker can cause the service to crash.

7) XXE attack
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.

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20406
CWE-ID:
CWE-190 - Integer overflow
Exploit availability: No
