"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2023:0019 advisory.
Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2020-10735:
A flaw was found in python. In algorithms with quadratic time complexity using non-binary bases, when
using int(text), a system could take 50ms to parse an int string with 100,000 digits and 5s for
1,000,000 digits (float, decimal, int.from_bytes(), and int() for binary bases 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 are not
affected). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
CVE-2021-28861:
** DISPUTED ** Python 3.x through 3.10 has an open redirection vulnerability in lib/http/server.py due
to no protection against multiple (/) at the beginning of URI path which may leads to information
disclosure. NOTE: this is disputed by a third party because the http.server.html documentation page states
Warning: http.server is not recommended for production. It only implements basic security checks.
CVE-2022-45061:
An issue was discovered in Python before 3.11.1. 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. Hostnames are often supplied by
remote servers that could be controlled by a malicious actor; in such a scenario, they could trigger
excessive CPU consumption on the client attempting to make use of an attacker-supplied supposed hostname.
For example, the attack payload could be placed in the Location header of an HTTP response with status
code 302. A fix is planned in 3.11.1, 3.10.9, 3.9.16, 3.8.16, and 3.7.16.
CVE-2015-20107:
In Python (aka CPython) up to 3.10.8, 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). The fix is also back-ported to 3.7, 3.8, 3.9
