Amazon Linux 1 (EOL) Security Advisory: ALAS-2025-1972
Advisory Released Date: 2025-04-29
Advisory Updated Date: 2025-04-29
Severity:
Medium
Issue Overview:
A CRLF injection flaw was discovered in python in the way URLs are handled when doing an HTTP/HTTPS connection (e.g. through urlopen() or HTTPConnection). An attacker who can control the url parameter passed to urlopen method in the urllib/urllib2 modules can inject CRLF sequences and HTTP headers by abusing the "host" part of the URL. (CVE-2019-18348)
A flaw was found in python. In Lib/tarfile.py 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-2019-20907)
