"The CentOS Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS7:CLSA-2026:1783705997 advisory.
- The tarfile module would still apply normalization of AREGTYPE (\x00) blocks to DIRTYPE, even while
processing a multi-block member such as GNUTYPE_LONGNAME or GNUTYPE_LONGLINK. This could result in a
crafted tar archive being misinterpreted by the tarfile module compared to other implementations.
(CVE-2025-13462)
- The fix for CVE-2026-0672, which rejected control characters in http.cookies.Morsel, was incomplete. The
Morsel.update(), |= operator, and unpickling paths were not patched, allowing control characters to bypass
input validation. Additionally, BaseCookie.js_output() lacked the output validation applied to
BaseCookie.output(). (CVE-2026-3644)
- When an Expat parser with a registered ElementDeclHandler parses an inline document type definition
containing a deeply nested content model a C stack overflow occurs. (CVE-2026-4224)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
