RedHat: RHSA-2019-2030:01 Moderate: python security and bug fix update
Summary
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
language, which includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high level
dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many
system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems.
Security Fix(es):
* python: Missing salt initialization in _elementtree.c module
(CVE-2018-14647)
* python: NULL pointer dereference using a specially crafted X509
certificate (CVE-2019-5010)
* python: CRLF injection via the query part of the url passed to urlopen()
(CVE-2019-9740)
* python: CRLF injection via the path part of the url passed to urlopen()
(CVE-2019-9947)
* python: Undocumented local_file protocol allows remote attackers to
bypass protection mechanisms (CVE-2019-9948)
