Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.892370
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-2370-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'python-pip' package(s) announced via the DLA-2370-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'python-pip' package(s) announced via the DLA-2370-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
It was discovered that there was a directory traversal attack in pip, the Python package installer.

When an URL was given in an install command, as a Content-Disposition header was permitted to have ../ components in their filename, arbitrary local files (eg. /root/.ssh/authorized_keys) could be overridden.

CVE-2019-20916

The pip package before 19.2 for Python allows Directory Traversal when a URL is given in an install command, because a Content-Disposition header can have ../ in a filename, as demonstrated by overwriting the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file. This occurs in _download_http_url in _internal/download.py.

For Debian 9 Stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 9.0.1-2+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-pip packages.
