Oracle Linux: CVE-2019-20916: ELSA-2020-4432: python-pip security update (MODERATE) (Multiple Advisories)

The pip package before 19.2 for Python allows Directory Traversal when a URL is given in an install command, because a Content-Disposition header can have ../ in a filename, as demonstrated by overwriting the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file. This occurs in _download_http_url in _internal/download.py.
A flaw was found in the pip package installer for Python when downloading or installing a remote package via a specified URL. Improper validation of the "Content-Disposition" HTTP response header makes a path traversal attack possible, leading to an arbitrary file overwrite. This flaw allows an attacker who controls a malicious server to execute arbitrary code on the system.
