Comment 1 David Walser 2013-07-19 16:11:42 CEST
Patched packages uploaded for Mageia 2, Mageia 3, and Cauldron.

Advisory:
========================

Updated python-suds package fixes security vulnerability:

An insecure temporary directory use flaw was found in the way python-suds
performed initialization of its internal file-based URL cache (predictable
location was used for directory to store the cached files). A local attacker
could use this flaw to conduct symbolic link attacks, possibly leading to
their ability for example the SOAP .wsdl metadata to redirect queries to a
different host, than originally intended (CVE-2013-2217).

Comment 2 Dave Hodgins 2013-07-21 02:54:47 CEST
Testing complete on Mageia 3 i586 and x86_64 using ...
$ cat testsuds
#!/bin/python
from suds.client import Client
url = 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/'
client = Client(url)
print client

Running it under strace with the core release version shows it's opening
/home/dave/tmp/suds/version

After installing the updates testing version it's opening
/home/dave/tmp/tmpgX_qNi/version

Advisory 10791.adv added to svn.

I'll test Mageia 2 shortly.

Comment 3 Dave Hodgins 2013-07-21 03:06:22 CEST
For Mageia 2, had to fix the shebang in the testsuds script to be
#!/usr/bin/python

Testing complete Mageia 2 i586 and x86_64.

Could someone from the sysadmin team push 10791.adv to updates.
