"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2022:0112 advisory.
Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2019-11324:
The urllib3 library before 1.24.2 for Python mishandles certain cases where the desired set of CA
certificates is different from the OS store of CA certificates, which results in SSL connections
succeeding in situations where a verification failure is the correct outcome. This is related to use of
the ssl_context, ca_certs, or ca_certs_dir argument.
CVE-2019-9740:
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 query string after a ? character) followed by an
HTTP header or a Redis command. 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-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-2020-26137:
urllib3 before 1.25.9 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 putrequest(). NOTE: this
is similar to CVE-2020-26116.
CVE-2020-27783:
A XSS vulnerability was discovered in python-lxml's clean module. The module's parser didn't properly
imitate browsers, which caused different behaviors between the sanitizer and the user's page. A remote
attacker could exploit this flaw to run arbitrary HTML/JS code.
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.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
