CVE-2024-6345

A flaw was found in the package_index module of pypa/setuptools. Affected versions of this package allow remote code execution via its download functions. These functions, which are used to download packages from URLs provided by users or retrieved from package index servers, are susceptible to code injection. If these functions are exposed to user-controlled inputs, such as package URLs, they can execute arbitrary commands on the system.

Red Hat OpenStack does not include setuptools. The ImcSdk component uses it only during compile time in our build systems, and we do not support recompiling SRPMs. As a result, Red Hat OpenStack is not affected by this flaw.

Python 2.7.18 was marked End of Life on 04/20/2020. No patches for Python 2 would be made available.
