Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: python-virtualenv security update

Notes

Topic
An update for python-virtualenv is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Extended Lifecycle Support. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
Details
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) offers a full virtualization solution forLinux on numerous hardware platforms. The virt:rhel module contains packageswhich provide user-space components used to run virtual machines using KVM.The packages also provide APIs for managing and interacting with the virtualized systems. Security Fix(es): * virtualenv: potential command injection via virtual environment activation scripts (CVE-2024-53899) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
