Amazon Linux 1 Security Advisory: ALAS-2019-1224
Advisory Release Date: 2019-06-11 22:41 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2019-06-13 18:35 Pacific
Severity: Low

Issue Overview:

urllib3 before version 1.23 does not remove the Authorization HTTP header when following a cross-origin redirect (i.e., a redirect that differs in host, port, or scheme). This can allow for credentials in the Authorization header to be exposed to unintended hosts or transmitted in cleartext. (CVE-2018-20060)


Affected Packages:

python-urllib3


Issue Correction:
Run yum update python-urllib3 to update your system.
