Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.
1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-4559)
CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The
vulnerability exists due to improper validation of filenames in the
tarfile module in Python. A remote attacker can
create a specially crafted archive with symbolic links inside or
filenames that contain directory traversal characters (e.g. "..") and
overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
2) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40897)
CWE-ID: CWE-185 - Incorrect Regular Expression
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 insufficient input validation when processing HTML content. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40898)
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 attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input passed to wheel cli. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45061)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
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 usage of an unnecessary quadratic algorithm in one path when processing some inputs to the IDNA (RFC 3490) decoder. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted name to he decoder, trigger resource excessive CPU consumption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Error Handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23931)
CWE-ID: CWE-388 - Error Handling
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows an attacker to misuse Python API.
The vulnerability exists due to a soundness bug within the Cipher.update_into function, which can allow immutable objects (such as bytes) to be mutated. A malicious programmer can misuse Python API to introduce unexpected behavior into the application.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24329)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented filters.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of URLs that start with blank characters within urllib.parse component of Python. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted URL to bypass existing filters.
7) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32681)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to requests has been leaking Proxy-Authorization headers to destination servers when redirected to an HTTPS endpoint. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
8) Cleartext transmission of sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40217)
CWE-ID: CWE-319 - Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in ssl.SSLSocket implementation when handling TLS client authentication. A remote attacker can trick the application to send data unencrypted.
