{"id":"MGASA-2014-0285","summary":"Updated python & python3 packages fix two vulnerabilities","details":"Updated python and python3 packages fix security vulnerabilities:\n\nPython 2 and 3 are susceptible to arbitrary process memory reading by a user\nor adversary due to a bug in the _json module caused by insufficient bounds\nchecking. The bug is caused by allowing the user to supply a negative value\nthat is used as an array index, causing the scanstring function to access\nprocess memory outside of the string it is intended to access\n(CVE-2014-4616).\n\nThe CGIHTTPServer Python module does not properly handle URL-encoded path\nseparators in URLs. This may enable attackers to disclose a CGI script's\nsource code or execute arbitrary scripts in the server's document root\n(CVE-2014-4650).\n","modified":"2026-04-16T01:45:14.844164995Z","published":"2014-07-08T22:35:18Z","upstream":["CVE-2014-4616","CVE-2014-4650"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0285.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"http://bugs.python.org/issue21766"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2014/06/26/3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2014-June/134903.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13588"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"python","ecosystem":"Mageia:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/python?arch=source&distro=mageia-3"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.7.6-1.2.mga3"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0285.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python3","ecosystem":"Mageia:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/python3?arch=source&distro=mageia-3"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.3.0-4.9.mga3"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0285.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python","ecosystem":"Mageia:4","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/python?arch=source&distro=mageia-4"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.7.6-1.2.mga4"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0285.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python3","ecosystem":"Mageia:4","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/python3?arch=source&distro=mageia-4"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.3.2-13.4.mga4"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0285.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
