Title:Splunk Light Python Vulnerabilities
Summary:Splunk Light is prone to multiple vulnerabilities in Python.
Description:Summary:
Splunk Light is prone to multiple vulnerabilities in Python.

Vulnerability Insight:
Splunk Light is prone to multiple vulnerabilities in Python:

- Integer overflow in the get_data function in zipimport.c in Python allows remote attackers to have unspecified
impact via a negative data size value, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2016-5636)

- CRLF injection vulnerability in the HTTPConnection.putheader function in urllib2 and urllib in Python allows
remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers via CRLF sequences in a URL. (CVE-2016-5699)

- The smtplib library in Python does not return an error when StartTLS fails, which might allow man-in-the-middle
attackers to bypass the TLS protections by leveraging a network position between the client and the registry to
block the StartTLS command, aka a 'StartTLS stripping attack'. (CVE-2016-0772)

Affected Software/OS:
Splunk Light prior to version 6.5.1

Solution:
Update to version 6.5.1 or later.

CVSS Score:
10.0
