Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.118254
Category:General
Title:Python < 2.7.13, 3.4.x < 3.4.7, 3.5.x < 3.5.3 Sweet32 attack (bpo-27850) - Linux
Summary:Python is prone to a 'birthday attack' vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Python is prone to a 'birthday attack' vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
The DES and Triple DES ciphers, as used in the TLS, SSH, and
IPSec protocols and other protocols and products, have a birthday bound of approximately four
billion blocks, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain cleartext data via a
birthday attack against a long-duration encrypted session, as demonstrated by an HTTPS session
using Triple DES in CBC mode, aka a 'Sweet32' attack.

Affected Software/OS:
Python prior to version 2.7.13, versions 3.4.x prior to 3.4.7,
and 3.5.x prior to 3.5.3.

Solution:
Update to version 2.7.13, 3.4.7, 3.5.3 or later.

CVSS Score:
5.0
