Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2013-0252)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'bzr, python3, python-pip, python-requests, python-tornado, python-virtualenv' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2013-0252 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'bzr, python3, python-pip, python-requests, python-tornado, python-virtualenv' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2013-0252 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated python3 packages fix security vulnerabilities: A denial of service flaw was found in the way SSL module implementation of Python 3 performed matching of the certificate's name in the case it contained many '*' wildcard characters. A remote attacker, able to obtain valid certificate with its name containing a lot of '*' wildcard characters could use this flaw to cause denial of service (excessive CPU consumption) by issuing request to validate such a certificate for / to an application using the Python's ssl.match_hostname() functionality (CVE-2013-2099). Ryan Sleevi of the Google Chrome Security Team has discovered that Python's SSL module doesn't handle NULL bytes inside subjectAltNames general names. This could lead to a breach when an application uses ssl.match_hostname() to match the hostname against the certificate's subjectAltName's dNSName general names. (CVE-2013-4238). Additionally, a linking issue when compiling C extensions for Python 3 has been fixed in Mageia 3 (mga#9395). The CVE-2013-2099 issue also affects bzr, python-requests, python-tornado, python-pip, and python-virtualenv, and those have been updated as well. Affected Software/OS: 'bzr, python3, python-pip, python-requests, python-tornado, python-virtualenv' package(s) on Mageia 2, Mageia 3. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
