mickeypashHello!15:46
mickeypashCan someone comment on this https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2022-4291915:46
-ubottu:#ubuntu-security- Python 3.9.x and 3.10.x through 3.10.8 on Linux allows local privilege escalation in a non-default configuration. The Python multiprocessing library, when used with the forkserver start method on Linux, allows pickles to be deserialized from any user in the same machine local network namespace, which in many system configurations means any user on the same machine.... <https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-42919>15:46
mickeypash3.9 ~ 20.04 says a patch is required (Needed).15:48
mickeypashThere is a patch for this on the Python repo (if I understand correctly)15:48
mickeypashI think what is required a corresponding Ubuntu patch?15:50
mickeypashCould someone help me grok this?15:50
sdezielmickeypash: I'm not member of the security team but I /think/ that since python3.9 is in universe for 20.04, it is community supported (while main is supported by Canonical)16:03
sdezielthat said, python3.9 in 20.04 did receive a security patch before from a Canonical employee so maybe they'll get around to doing it again, dunno16:04
mickeypashsdeziel thanks, that is correct I checked with a Canonical security team member and he said the same thing16:11
mickeypashBut isn't there someone from the community to help out?16:12
mickeypashI'm willing to do it but I don't have the context16:12
mickeypashI suspect it's simple if one had the setup in place?16:13
sdezielmickeypash: the patch is rather trivial so it shouldn't be too hard and would be a good deed for the community16:18
sdezielhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation might be a good starting point16:21
mickeypashNice thanks! I hope I have the headspace to do it16:28
mickeypashReality is I probably don't16:31
mickeypashI'd rather stay at a higher level of abstraction:D16:31
sdezielmickeypash: the lazy way out is to move your stuff to 22.04 which has python3.10 in main ;)16:38
tewardsdeziel: i heard python and patch what'd i miss heh21:07
sdeziel teward: tl;dr is use python3.X from main and the security team will "have your back" (quoting Alex Murray from the podcast ;)21:10
tewardaccurate xD21:10
tewardi mean i keep a pyenv around for newer/older versions for compatibility testing or version specific stuff but i use stock main repo versions for most stuff xD21:11
