[GLSA-200502-09] Python: Arbitrary code execution through SimpleXMLRPCServer |
||
Python: Arbitrary code execution through SimpleXMLRPCServer Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200502-09 (Python: Arbitrary code execution through SimpleXMLRPCServer) Graham Dumpleton discovered that XML-RPC servers making use of the SimpleXMLRPCServer library that use the register_instance() method to register an object without a _dispatch() method are vulnerable to a flaw permiting to read or modify globals of the associated module. Impact A remote attacker may be able to exploit the flaw in such XML-RPC servers to execute arbitrary code on the server host with the rights of the XML-RPC server. Workaround Python users that don't make use of any SimpleXMLRPCServer-based XML-RPC servers, or making use of servers using only the register_function() method are not affected.
