Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.891852
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1852-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'python3.4' package(s) announced via the DLA-1852-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'python3.4' package(s) announced via the DLA-1852-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The urllib library in Python ships support for a second, not well known URL scheme for accessing local files ('local_file://'). This scheme can be used to circumvent protections that try to block local file access and only block the well-known 'file://' schema. This update addresses the vulnerability by disallowing the 'local_file://' URL scheme.

This update also fixes another regression introduced in the update issued as DLA-1835-1 that broke installation of libpython3.4-testsuite.

For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 3.4.2-1+deb8u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your python3.4 packages.

For the detailed security status of python3.4 please refer to its security tracker page at: [link moved to references]

Affected Software/OS:

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
