Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2024-0228)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-scikit-learn' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2024-0228 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-scikit-learn' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2024-0228 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: A sensitive data leakage vulnerability was identified in scikit-learn's TfidfVectorizer, specifically in versions up to and including 1.4.1.post1, which was fixed in version 1.5.0. The vulnerability arises from the unexpected storage of all tokens present in the training data within the `stop_words_` attribute, rather than only storing the subset of tokens required for the TF-IDF technique to function. This behavior leads to the potential leakage of sensitive information, as the `stop_words_` attribute could contain tokens that were meant to be discarded and not stored, such as passwords or keys. The impact of this vulnerability varies based on the nature of the data being processed by the vectorizer. Affected Software/OS: 'python-scikit-learn' package(s) on Mageia 9. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 3.8 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:H/Au:S/C:C/I:N/A:N
