Publication date: 06 Sep 2019
URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2019-0258.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 6
CVE: CVE-2018-20060,
     CVE-2019-11236,
     CVE-2019-11324

It was discovered that urllib3 incorrectly removed Authorization HTTP
headers when handled cross-origin redirects. This could result in
credentials being sent to unintended hosts (CVE-2018-20060).

It was discovered that urllib3 incorrectly stripped certain charactersfrom requests. A remote attacker could use this issue to perform CRLF
injection (CVE-2019-11236).

It was discovered that urllib3 incorrectly handled situations where a
desired set of CA certificates were specified. This could result in
certificates being accepted by the default CA certificates contrary to
expectatons (CVE-2019-11324).

The python-urllib3 package has been updated to version 1.24.3 to fix these
issues and other bugs.  The python-requests package has been fixed to work
with the updated python-urllib3
