CVE-2024-6345

Publication date 15 July 2024

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

A vulnerability in the package_index module of pypa/setuptools versions up to 69.1.1 allows for remote code execution via its download functions. These functions, which are used to download packages from URLs provided by users or retrieved from package index servers, are susceptible to code injection. If these functions are exposed to user-controlled inputs, such as package URLs, they can execute arbitrary commands on the system. The issue is fixed in version 70.0.

Notes

mdeslaur

On focal and earlier, the python-pip package bundles python-setuptools binaries when built. After updating python-setuptools, a no-change rebuild of python-pip is required. On jammy and later, python-setuptools is bundled in the python-pip package and needs to be patched.
