Background ========== Joblib is a set of tools to provide lightweight pipelining in Python. In particular: 1. transparent disk-caching of functions and lazy re-evaluation (memoize pattern) 2. easy simple parallel computing Joblib is optimized to be fast and robust on large data in particular and has specific optimizations for numpy arrays. Affected packages ================= Package Vulnerable Unaffected ----------------- ------------ ------------ dev-python/joblib < 1.2.0 > = 1.2.0 Description =========== A vulnerability has been discovered in Joblib. Please review the CVE identifier referenced below for details. Impact ====== Joblib is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution via the pre_dispatch flag in Parallel() class due to the eval() statement. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Joblib users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =dev-python/joblib-1.2.0" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2022-21797 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-21797 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202401-01 Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users' machines is of utmost importance to us. Any security concerns should be addressed to
It was discovered that joblib did not completely sanitize arguments to pre_dispatch, allowing arbitrary code execution. The earlier attempt via DLA-3193-1 was incomplete. . ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3193-2
It was discovered that joblib did not properly sanitize arguments to pre_dispatch, allowing arbitrary code execution. For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version . ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3193-1
