How to Fix CVE-2014-0161

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Ovirt engine sdk python dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

ovirt-engine-sdk-python fixed: 3.4.0.7 
pip install ovirt-engine-sdk-python>=3.4.0.7
ovirt-engine-sdk-python fixed: 3.5.0.4 
pip install ovirt-engine-sdk-python>=3.5.0.4
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show ovirt-engine-sdk-python

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2014-0161, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show ovirt-engine-sdk-python

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Ovirt engine sdk python in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.4.0.7), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show ovirt-engine-sdk-python command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-295: Improper Certificate Validation, where the product does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate. In Ovirt engine sdk python, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

ovirt-engine-sdk-python before 3.4.0.7 and 3.5.0.4 does not verify that the hostname of the remote endpoint matches the Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName as specified by its x.509 certificate in a TLS/SSL session. This could allow man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof remote endpoints via an arbitrary valid certificate.
