Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language, which includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: rh-python36-python (3.6.12).

Security Fix(es):

* python: XSS vulnerability in the documentation XML-RPC server in server_title field (CVE-2019-16935)

* python: CRLF injection via the host part of the url passed to urlopen() (CVE-2019-18348)

* python: infinite loop in the tarfile module via crafted TAR archive (CVE-2019-20907)

* python-pip: directory traversal in _download_http_url() function in src/pip/_internal/download.py (CVE-2019-20916)

* python: wrong backtracking in urllib.request.AbstractBasicAuthHandler allows for a ReDoS (CVE-2020-8492)

* python: DoS via inefficiency in IPv{4,6}Interface classes (CVE-2020-14422)

* python: CRLF injection via HTTP request method in httplib/http.client (CVE-2020-26116)

Bug Fix(es):

* rh-python36-python-pip: Contains multiple bundled libraries, and has no bundled() provides

* Allow rh-python36-python-pip to use system CA certificate Trust

CVE-2019-16935
The documentation XML-RPC server in Python through 2.7.16, 3.x through 3.6.9, and 3.7.x through 3.7.4 has XSS via the server_title field. This occurs in Lib/DocXMLRPCServer.py in Python 2.x, and in Lib/xmlrpc/server.py in Python 3.x. If set_server_title is called with untrusted input, arbitrary JavaScript can be delivered to clients that visit the http URL for this server.
CVE-2019-18348
An issue was discovered in urllib2 in Python 2.x through 2.7.17 and urllib in Python 3.x through 3.8.0. CRLF injection is possible if the attacker controls a url parameter, as demonstrated by the first argument to urllib.request.urlopen with \r\n (specifically in the host component of a URL) followed by an HTTP header. This is similar to the CVE-2019-9740 query string issue and the CVE-2019-9947 path string issue. (This is not exploitable when glibc has CVE-2016-10739 fixed.)
CVE-2019-20907
In Lib/tarfile.py in Python through 3.8.3, an attacker is able to craft a TAR archive leading to an infinite loop when opened by tarfile.open, because _proc_pax lacks header validation.
CVE-2019-20916
The pip package before 19.2 for Python allows Directory Traversal when a URL is given in an install command, because a Content-Disposition header can have ../ in a filename, as demonstrated by overwriting the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file. This occurs in _download_http_url in _internal/download.py.
CVE-2020-14422
Lib/ipaddress.py in Python through 3.8.3 improperly computes hash values in the IPv4Interface and IPv6Interface classes, which might allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service if an application is affected by the performance of a dictionary containing IPv4Interface or IPv6Interface objects, and this attacker can cause many dictionary entries to be created.
CVE-2020-26116
http.client in Python 3.x before 3.5.10, 3.6.x before 3.6.12, 3.7.x before 3.7.9, and 3.8.x before 3.8.5 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 HTTPConnection.request.
CVE-2020-8492
Python 2.7 through 2.7.17, 3.5 through 3.5.9, 3.6 through 3.6.10, 3.7 through 3.7.6, and 3.8 through 3.8.1 allows an HTTP server to conduct Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) attacks against a client because of urllib.request.AbstractBasicAuthHandler catastrophic backtracking.
