NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-3402-1.NASL description It was discovered that PySAML2 incorrectly handled certain SAML XML requests and responses. A remote attacker could use this issue to read arbitrary files. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 102777 published 2017-08-25 reporter Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2017-2019 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2017-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/102777 title Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 17.04 : python-pysaml2 vulnerability (USN-3402-1) code # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3402-1.
