Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
EUVDB-ID: #VU54520
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14343
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing untrusted YAML files through the full_load method or with the FullLoader loader. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary code on the system by abusing the python/object/new constructor.
Note, the vulnerability exists due to incomplete patch for vulnerability #VU25823.
Update the affected package python-PyYAML to the latest version.
