Title:	Huawei EulerOS: Security Advisory for python-cryptography (EulerOS-SA-2023-2491)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Huawei EulerOS 'python-cryptography' package(s) announced via the EulerOS-SA-2023-2491 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Huawei EulerOS 'python-cryptography' package(s) announced via the EulerOS-SA-2023-2491 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers. In affected versions `Cipher.update_into` would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as `bytes`) to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This now correctly raises an exception. This issue has been present since `update_into` was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.(CVE-2023-23931) Affected Software/OS: 'python-cryptography' package(s) on Huawei EulerOS Virtualization release 2.10.0. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.4 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P
