Red Hat Security Advisory: python-requests security update
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. Security Fix(es): * requests: subsequent requests to the same host ignore cert verification (CVE-2024-35195) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability CVE-2024-35195 affects the python-requests library in Red Hat OpenStack Platform 17.1 and related Red Hat products. The flaw causes subsequent HTTP requests to the same host to bypass certificate verification, potentially allowing man-in-the-middle attacks or other TLS-related security issues. Red Hat has acknowledged this issue and provided updated python-requests packages to fix the problem. The advisory references Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2024:9988 and provides updated package versions (python-requests-2.25.1-2.el8ost) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and OpenStack Platform 17.1. No CVSS score is provided, but the vendor rates the impact as moderate.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability causes subsequent HTTP requests to the same host to ignore TLS certificate verification, which can compromise the security of encrypted communications. This could allow attackers to intercept or manipulate data transmitted over HTTPS connections if they can position themselves as a man-in-the-middle. The impact is rated moderate by Red Hat.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released updated python-requests packages that fix this vulnerability. Users of Red Hat OpenStack Platform 17.1 and affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 systems should apply the security update described in Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2024:9988.
