    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2019-10160:
    A security regression of CVE-2019-9636 was discovered in python since commit
    d537ab0ff9767ef024f26246899728f0116b1ec3 affecting versions 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and from v3.8.0a4 through
    v3.8.0b1, which still allows an attacker to exploit CVE-2019-9636 by abusing the user and password parts
    of a URL. When an application parses user-supplied URLs to store cookies, authentication credentials, or
    other kind of information, it is possible for an attacker to provide specially crafted URLs to make the
    application locate host-related information (e.g. cookies, authentication data) and send them to a
    different host than where it should, unlike if the URLs had been correctly parsed. The result of an attack
    may vary based on the application.

    CVE-2019-16056:
    An issue was discovered in Python through 2.7.16, 3.x through 3.5.7, 3.6.x through 3.6.9, and 3.7.x
    through 3.7.4. The email module wrongly parses email addresses that contain multiple @ characters. 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. An attack may be the same
    as in CVE-2019-11340; however, this CVE applies to Python more generally.

    CVE-2019-16935:
    The documentation XML-RPC server in Python through 2.7.16, 3.x through 3.6.9, and 3.7.x through 3.7.4 has
    XSS via the server_title field. This occurs in Lib/DocXMLRPCServer.py in Python 2.x, and in
    Lib/xmlrpc/server.py in Python 3.x. If set_server_title is called with untrusted input, arbitrary
    JavaScript can be delivered to clients that visit the http URL for this server.

    CVE-2019-20907:
    In Lib/tarfile.py in Python through 3.8.3, 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-2019-5010:
    An exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the X509 certificate parser of Python.org Python
    2.7.11 / 3.6.6. A specially crafted X509 certificate can cause a NULL pointer dereference, resulting in a
    denial of service. An attacker can initiate or accept TLS connections using crafted certificates to
    trigger this vulnerability.

    CVE-2019-9636:
    Python 2.7.x through 2.7.16 and 3.x through 3.7.2 is affected by: Improper Handling of Unicode Encoding
    (with an incorrect netloc) during NFKC normalization. The impact is: Information disclosure (credentials,
    cookies, etc. that are cached against a given hostname). The components are: urllib.parse.urlsplit,
    urllib.parse.urlparse. The attack vector is: A specially crafted URL could be incorrectly parsed to locate
    cookies or authentication data and send that information to a different host than when parsed correctly.
    This is fixed in: v2.7.17, v2.7.17rc1, v2.7.18, v2.7.18rc1; v3.5.10, v3.5.10rc1, v3.5.7, v3.5.8,
    v3.5.8rc1, v3.5.8rc2, v3.5.9; v3.6.10, v3.6.10rc1, v3.6.11, v3.6.11rc1, v3.6.12, v3.6.9, v3.6.9rc1;
    v3.7.3, v3.7.3rc1, v3.7.4, v3.7.4rc1, v3.7.4rc2, v3.7.5, v3.7.5rc1, v3.7.6, v3.7.6rc1, v3.7.7, v3.7.7rc1,
    v3.7.8, v3.7.8rc1, v3.7.9.

    CVE-2019-9947:
    An issue was discovered in urllib2 in Python 2.x through 2.7.16 and urllib in Python 3.x through 3.7.3.
    CRLF injection is possible if the attacker controls a url parameter, as demonstrated by the first argument
    to urllib.request.urlopen with \r\n (specifically in the path component of a URL that lacks a ? character)
    followed by an HTTP header or a Redis command. This is similar to the CVE-2019-9740 query string issue.
    This is fixed in: v2.7.17, v2.7.17rc1, v2.7.18, v2.7.18rc1; v3.5.10, v3.5.10rc1, v3.5.8, v3.5.8rc1,
    v3.5.8rc2, v3.5.9; v3.6.10, v3.6.10rc1, v3.6.11, v3.6.11rc1, v3.6.12, v3.6.9, v3.6.9rc1; v3.7.4,
    v3.7.4rc1, v3.7.4rc2, v3.7.5, v3.7.5rc1, v3.7.6, v3.7.6rc1, v3.7.7, v3.7.7rc1, v3.7.8, v3.7.8rc1, v3.7.9.

    CVE-2019-9948:
    urllib in Python 2.x through 2.7.16 supports the local_file: scheme, which makes it easier for remote
    attackers to bypass protection mechanisms that blacklist file: URIs, as demonstrated by triggering a
    urllib.urlopen('local_file:///etc/passwd') call.

    CVE-2020-14422:
    Lib/ipaddress.py in Python through 3.8.3 improperly computes hash values in the IPv4Interface and
    IPv6Interface classes, which might allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service if an application
    is affected by the performance of a dictionary containing IPv4Interface or IPv6Interface objects, and this
    attacker can cause many dictionary entries to be created. This is fixed in: v3.5.10, v3.5.10rc1; v3.6.12;
    v3.7.9; v3.8.4, v3.8.4rc1, v3.8.5, v3.8.6, v3.8.6rc1; v3.9.0, v3.9.0b4, v3.9.0b5, v3.9.0rc1, v3.9.0rc2.

    CVE-2020-26116:
    http.client in Python 3.x before 3.5.10, 3.6.x before 3.6.12, 3.7.x before 3.7.9, and 3.8.x before 3.8.5
    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-2020-27619:
    In Python 3 through 3.9.0, the Lib/test/multibytecodec_support.py CJK codec tests call eval() on content
    retrieved via HTTP.

    CVE-2020-8492:
    Python 2.7 through 2.7.17, 3.5 through 3.5.9, 3.6 through 3.6.10, 3.7 through 3.7.6, and 3.8 through 3.8.1
    allows an HTTP server to conduct Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attacks against a client
    because of urllib.request.AbstractBasicAuthHandler catastrophic backtracking.

    CVE-2021-23336:
    The package python/cpython from 0 and before 3.6.13, from 3.7.0 and before 3.7.10, from 3.8.0 and before
    3.8.8, from 3.9.0 and before 3.9.2 are vulnerable to Web Cache Poisoning via urllib.parse.parse_qsl and
    urllib.parse.parse_qs by using a vector called parameter cloaking. When the attacker can separate query
    parameters using a semicolon (;), they can cause a difference in the interpretation of the request between
    the proxy (running with default configuration) and the server. This can result in malicious requests being
    cached as completely safe ones, as the proxy would usually not see the semicolon as a separator, and
    therefore would not include it in a cache key of an unkeyed parameter.

    CVE-2021-3177:
    Python 3.x through 3.9.1 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:
    ** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that will use it when
    announcing a new security problem. When the candidate has been publicized, the details for this candidate
    will be provided.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.
