Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2021-0266)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-eventlet' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0266 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-eventlet' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0266 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated python-eventlet packages fix a security vulnerability: Eventlet is a concurrent networking library for Python. A websocket peer may exhaust memory on Eventlet side by sending very large websocket frames. Malicious peer may exhaust memory on Eventlet side by sending highly compressed data frame. A patch in version 0.31.0 restricts websocket frame to reasonable limits. As a workaround, restricting memory usage via OS limits would help against overall machine exhaustion, but there is no workaround to protect Eventlet process (CVE-2021-21419). Affected Software/OS: 'python-eventlet' package(s) on Mageia 7, Mageia 8. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
