Denial of service vulnerability in Python - CVE-2019-20907ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:64610 | Date: (C)2020-07-20 (M)2023-05-31 |
Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: windows |
The host is installed with Python through 3.5.0 before 3.5.10, 3.6.0 before 3.6.12, 3.7.0 before 3.7.9 or 3.8.0 before 3.8.5 and is prone to a denial of service vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to handle an issue in Lib/tarfile.py. Successful exploitation allows attackers to craft a TAR archive leading to an infinite loop when opened by tarfile.open, because _proc_pax lacks header validation.
