Description Quality Assurance univentionstaff 2023-05-29 10:05:32 CEST
New Debian python2.7 2.7.16-2+deb10u2 fixes:
This update addresses the following issues:
2.7.16-2+deb10u2 (Tue, 23 May 2023 16:13:27 +0200)
* Non-maintainer upload by the LTS Security Team.
* Update self-signed.pythontest.net SSL certificate in testsuite (fixes  test_httplib test suite)
* CVE-2015-20107: the mailcap module does not add escape characters into  commands discovered in the system mailcap file. This may allow attackers to  inject shell commands into applications that call mailcap.findmatch with  untrusted input (if they lack validation of user-provided filenames or  arguments).
* CVE-2019-20907: in Lib/tarfile.py, an attacker is able to craft a TAR  archive leading to an infinite loop when opened by tarfile.open, because  _proc_pax lacks header validation.
* CVE-2020-8492: Python allows an HTTP server to conduct Regular Expression  Denial of Service (ReDoS) attacks against a client because of  urllib.request.AbstractBasicAuthHandler catastrophic backtracking.
* CVE-2020-26116: http.client allows CRLF injection if the attacker controls  the HTTP request method, as demonstrated by inserting CR and LF control  characters in the first argument of HTTPConnection.request.
* CVE-2021-3177: Python has a buffer overflow in PyCArg_repr in  _ctypes/callproc.c, which may lead to remote code execution in certain  Python applications that accept floating-point numbers as untrusted input,  as demonstrated by a 1e300 argument to c_double.from_param. This occurs  because sprintf is used unsafely.
* CVE-2021-3733: There's a flaw in urllib's AbstractBasicAuthHandler class.  An attacker who controls a malicious HTTP server that an HTTP client (such  as web browser) connects to, could trigger a Regular Expression Denial of  Service (ReDOS) during an authentication request with a specially crafted  payload that is sent by the server to the client.
* CVE-2021-3737: An improperly handled HTTP response in the HTTP client code  of python may allow a remote attacker, who controls the HTTP server, to  make the client script enter an infinite loop, consuming CPU time.
* CVE-2021-4189: the FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client library in PASV  (passive) mode trusts the host from the PASV response by default. This flaw  allows an attacker to set up a malicious FTP server that can trick FTP  clients into connecting back to a given IP address and port. This  vulnerability could lead to FTP client scanning ports. For the rare user  who wants the previous behavior, set a `trust_server_pasv_ipv4_address`  attribute on your `ftplib.FTP` instance to True.
* CVE-2022-45061: An unnecessary quadratic algorithm exists in one path when  processing some inputs to the IDNA (RFC 3490) decoder, such that a crafted,  unreasonably long name being presented to the decoder could lead to a CPU  denial of service.
