"The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS7:CLSA-2024:1711491407 advisory.
- An issue in the urllib.parse component of Python before 3.11.4 allows attackers to bypass blocklisting
methods by supplying a URL that starts with blank characters. (CVE-2023-24329)
- The email module of Python through 3.11.3 incorrectly parses e-mail addresses that contain a special
character. The wrong portion of an RFC2822 header is identified as the value of the addr-spec. In some
applications, an attacker can bypass a protection mechanism in which application access is granted only
after verifying receipt of e-mail to a specific domain (e.g., only @company.example.com addresses may be
used for signup). This occurs in email/_parseaddr.py in recent versions of Python. (CVE-2023-27043)
- An issue was discovered in Python before 3.8.18, 3.9.x before 3.9.18, 3.10.x before 3.10.13, and 3.11.x
before 3.11.5. It primarily affects servers (such as HTTP servers) that use TLS client authentication. If
a TLS server-side socket is created, receives data into the socket buffer, and then is closed quickly,
there is a brief window where the SSLSocket instance will detect the socket as not connected and won't
initiate a handshake, but buffered data will still be readable from the socket buffer. This data will not
be authenticated if the server-side TLS peer is expecting client certificate authentication, and is
indistinguishable from valid TLS stream data. Data is limited in size to the amount that will fit in the
buffer. (The TLS connection cannot directly be used for data exfiltration because the vulnerable code path
requires that the connection be closed on initialization of the SSLSocket.) (CVE-2023-40217)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
