    Posted Thu November 02, 2023 03:26 PM

    Hi guys, in a recent vulnerability scan the following vulnerabilities were found.
    Could you help me with the questions on each vulnerability to determine the best course of action.

    • CVE-2023-38325 - CVSS 7.5 - High severity
      The cryptography package before 41.0.2 for Python mishandles SSH certificates that have critical options.
      Is there a plan to deliver a version 41.0.2 or newer in the near future?

    • CVE-2019-14859 - CVSS 9.1 - CRITICAL

    • CVE-2022-48564 - CVSS 6.5 - Medium
      Do you know if this vulnerability is present on the latest python 3 on toolbox (3.9.18)?

    1) CVE-2023-38325 affects cryptography versions >=40.0.0. Toolbox version is 3.4.7. So it's not affected. 

    2) Toolbox don't have python-ecdsa package. It should be from a different source. check "rpm -qi" output if it is through rpm. 

    3) CVE-2022-48564 is already addressed in 3.9.1 version long back. https://docs.python.org/release/3.9.18/whatsnew/changelog.html#id103 (
    bpo-42103)
