The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2021-9562 advisory.

  • There’s a flaw in Python 3’s pydoc. A local or adjacent attacker who discovers or is able to convince another local or adjacent user to start a pydoc server could access the server and use it to disclose sensitive information belonging to the other user that they would not normally be able to access. The highest risk of this flaw is to data confidentiality. This flaw affects Python versions before 3.8.9, Python versions before 3.9.3 and Python versions before 3.10.0a7. (CVE-2021-3426)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
