Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201911-4
=========================================
Severity: High
Date : 2019-11-03
CVE-ID : CVE-2019-9636
Package : python2
Type : information disclosure
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-978
Summary
=======
The package python2 before version 2.7.17-1 is vulnerable to
information disclosure.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 2.7.17-1.
# pacman -Syu "python2>=2.7.17-1"
The problem has been fixed upstream in version 2.7.17.
Workaround
==========
None.
Description
===========
Python 2.7.x through 2.7.16 and 3.x through 3.7.2 is affected by
improper Handling of Unicode Encoding (with an incorrect netloc) during
NFKC normalization. A specially crafted URL could be incorrectly parsed
by urllib.parse.urlsplit and urllib.parse.urlparse to locate cookies or
authentication data and send that information to a different host than
when parsed correctly.
Impact
======
A remote attacker is able to craft a malicious URL and transfer private
data to a different host than expected.
