python-cryptography vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 23.10
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro)

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in python-cryptography.

Software Description:
- python-cryptography: Cryptography Python library

Details:

Hubert Kario discovered that python-cryptography incorrectly handled
errors returned by the OpenSSL API when processing incorrect padding in
RSA PKCS#1 v1.5. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to expose
confidential or sensitive information. (CVE-2023-50782)

It was discovered that python-cryptography incorrectly handled memory
operations when processing mismatched PKCS#12 keys. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause python-cryptography to crash, leading to a
denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.10. (CVE-2024-26130)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 23.10:
  python3-cryptography            38.0.4-4ubuntu0.23.10.2

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
  python3-cryptography            3.4.8-1ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
  python-cryptography             2.8-3ubuntu0.3
  python3-cryptography            2.8-3ubuntu0.3

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro):
  python-cryptography             2.1.4-1ubuntu1.4+esm1
  python3-cryptography            2.1.4-1ubuntu1.4+esm1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
