Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Inefficient algorithmic complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-12084)
CWE-ID: CWE-407 - Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of a quadratic algorithm when building nested elements using xml.dom.minidom methods such as appendChild() that have a dependency on _clear_id_cache(). A remote attacker can force the application to create excessively nested documents, leading to a denial of service condition.
2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-13836)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when reading HTTP responses in Lib/http/client.py. A remote attacker can trigger memory exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-13837)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources in Lib/plistlib.py. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application, trigger memory exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
