SB20200930128 - openEuler 20.03 LTS update for python2

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20907)

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop In Lib/tarfile.py in Python. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted TAR archive leading to an infinite loop when opened by tarfile.open, because _proc_pax lacks header validation.

2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1753)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The gzip_decode function in the xmlrpc client library in Python 3.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted HTTP request.
