Debian Stretch: DLA-2919-1 Critical: Python2.7 Buffer Overflow and FTP Flaw

Two issues have been discovered in python2.7: CVE-2021-3177 . - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-2919-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Anton Gladky February 12, 2022 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : python2.7 Version : 2.7.13-2+deb9u6 CVE ID : CVE-2021-3177 CVE-2021-4189 Two issues have been discovered in python2.7: CVE-2021-3177 Python has a buffer overflow in PyCArg_repr in _ctypes/callproc.c, which may lead to remote code execution in certain Python applications that accept floating-point numbers as untrusted input. CVE-2021-4189 A flaw was found in Python, specifically in the FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client library when using it in PASV (passive) mode. The flaw lies in how the FTP client trusts the host from PASV response by default. An attacker could use this flaw to setup a malicious FTP server that can trick FTP clients into connecting back to a given IP address and port. This could lead to FTP client scanning ports which otherwise would not have been possible. . Instead of using the returned address, ftplib now uses the IP address we're already connected to. For the rare user who wants an old behavior, set a `trust_server_pasv_ipv4_address` attribute on your `ftplib.FTP` instance to True. For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2.7.13-2+deb9u6. We recommend that you upgrade your python2.7 packages. For the detailed security status of python2.7 please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/python2.7 Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS .

Red Hat: RHSA-2011:0920-01 Important: FTP Flaw in krb5-appl

Updated krb5-appl packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having [More...]. ==================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Important: krb5-appl security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2011:0920-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011:0920.html Issue date: 2011-07-05 CVE Names: CVE-2011-1526 ==================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated krb5-appl packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node (v. 6) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node Optional (v. 6) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: The krb5-appl packages provide Kerberos-aware telnet, ftp, rcp, rsh, and rlogin clients and servers. While these have been replaced by tools such as OpenSSH in most environments, they remain in use in others. It was found that gssftp, a Kerberos-aware FTP server, did not properly drop privileges. A remote FTP user could use this flaw to gain unauthorized read or write access to files that are owned by the root group. (CVE-2011-1526) Red Hat would like to thank the MIT Kerberos project for reporting this issue. Upstream acknowledges Tim Zingelman as the original reporter. All krb5-appl users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct thisissue. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 711419 - CVE-2011-1526 krb5, krb5-appl: ftpd incorrect group privilege dropping (MITKRB5-SA-2011-005) 6.
