Package : python-urllib3
Version : 1.19.1-1+deb9u1
CVE ID : CVE-2018-20060 CVE-2019-11236 CVE-2019-11324 CVE-2020-26137
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in python-urllib3, a HTTP
client for Python.
CVE-2018-20060
Urllib3 does not remove the Authorization HTTP header when
following a cross-origin redirect (i.e., a redirect that differs
in host, port, or scheme). This can allow for credentials in the
Authorization header to be exposed to unintended hosts or
transmitted in cleartext.
CVE-2019-11236
CRLF injection is possible if the attacker controls the request
parameter.
CVE-2019-11324
Urllib3 mishandles certain cases where the desired set of CA
certificates is different from the OS store of CA certificates,
which results in SSL connections succeeding in situations where a
verification failure is the correct outcome. This is related to
use of the ssl_context, ca_certs, or ca_certs_dir argument.
CVE-2020-26137
Urllib3 allows CRLF injection if the attacker controls the HTTP
request method, as demonstrated by inserting CR and LF control
characters in the first argument of putrequest().
For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version
1.19.1-1+deb9u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your python-urllib3 packages.
