MGASA-2024-0244 - Updated python-imageio packages fix security vulnerability

Publication date: 01 Jul 2024
URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2024-0244.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 9

Description:
imageio can attempt to download shared freeimage libraries from
https://github.com/imageio/imageio-binaries/tree/master/f.... The
code fetches straight from master and provides no way of verifying
whether the correct file was fetched. As a result, if the repository is
attacked in the future, all prior versions of imageio would be silently
downloading arbitrary shared libraries and running them on user systems.
This is a serious problem.
