Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9636)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing data in Unicode encoding with an incorrect netloc during NFKC normalization. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information.


2) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20406)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in modules/_pickle.c when processing a large LONG_BINPUT value during the "resize to twice the size" attempt. A remote attacker can supply overly large data, trigger integer overflow and exhaust all resources on the system.
