Description Steve Traylen 2014-12-01 09:38:42 UTC
Hi,

The fix  to CVE-2014-8650 in 

* python-requests-kerberos 0.6-1.el6

https://github.com/requests/requests-kerberos/pull/36

requires a newer python-requests to handle this fix.

In particular 1.2 is required 


Currently we see:

MutualAuthenticationError: Unable to authenticate <Response [200]>

The 1.2.0 release of requests changed this area in interaction 
between requests and requests-kerberos.

https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/blob/master/HISTORY.rst


For reference, our downstream bug:
https://its.cern.ch/jira/browse/AI-4070

Comment 1 Dan Callaghan 2015-01-09 05:05:36 UTC
Sorry, I must have accidentally tested this update with a newer version of requests (we are using 2.3 on EL6 for various reasons).

I will take a look this weekend to see whether I can get it working with older requests.

The fix for mutual authentication that went into requests-kerberos 0.6 is not perfect anyway, we hit an issue which I also need to try and fix...

OK, let me start that I now lobby even more for bug 1162249 to be resolved. I am going to take a look.

Comment 3 Steve Traylen 2015-02-06 14:34:57 UTC
This applies to EPEL7 also which has python-requests-1.1.0-8.el7 

Unfortunately I can't read bug 1162249.

I don't think that bug matters here ... an internal Red Hat tool used python-requests and it broke on EPEL-7. Fortunately, it has been now rewritten to use just plain urllib2 (and urllib2_kerberos) so this issue doesn't apply to it anymore.

Sorry for the delay in getting to this bug.

RHEL7 is rebasing python-requests to 2.6 in RHEL7.2, which should fix this problem: bug 1214365.

For RHEL6, it looks like python-requests 2.6 will also appear in RHEL6.7, at which point the EPEL package will be retired: bug 1176248.

I will also take a look at how much work it will be to adjust requests-kerberos to work with requests 1.1 in the meantime.

Comment 6 Dan Callaghan 2015-06-11 05:04:52 UTC
Workaround is to disable mutual authentication:

    ...auth=requests_kerberos.HTTPKerberosAuth(mutual_authentication=requests_kerberos.DISABLED)...
