Fedora 29: 2019-1f17485159 Moderate: python-mitogen Bypass Issue

Mitogen is a Python library for writing distributed self-replicating programs.

There is no requirement for installing packages, copying files around, writing

shell snippets, upfront configuration, or providing any secondary link to a

remote machine aside from an SSH connection. Due to its origins for use in

managing potentially damaged infrastructure, the remote machine need not even

have free disk space or a writeable filesystem.

It is not intended as a generic RPC framework; the goal is to provide a robust

and efficient low-level API on which tools like Salt, Ansible, or Fabric can be

built, and while the API is quite friendly and comparable to Fabric, ultimately

it is not intended for direct use by consumer software.

The focus is to centralize and perfect the intricate dance required to run

Python code safely and efficiently on a remote machine, while avoiding

temporary files or large chunks of error-prone shell scripts, and supporting

common privilege escalation techniques like sudo, potentially in combination

with exotic connection methods such as WMI, telnet, or console-over-IPMI.
