Synopsis

Low: python-paramiko security, bug fix, and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Security Advisory Low

Topic

An update for python-paramiko is now available for Red Hat Virtualization 4 Management Agent for RHEL 7 and Red Hat Virtualization Manager 4.1.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Low. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Description

The python-paramiko package provides a Python module that implements the SSH2 protocol for encrypted and authenticated connections to remote machines. Unlike SSL, the SSH2 protocol does not require hierarchical certificates signed by a powerful central authority. The protocol also includes the ability to open arbitrary channels to remote services across an encrypted tunnel.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: python-paramiko (2.1.1). (BZ#1562393)

Security Fix(es):

  • python-paramiko: Authentication bypass in transport.py (CVE-2018-7750)
