14 July 2022
Python could be made to run arbitrary code if it received a specially crafted input.
Releases
Packages
- python2.7 - An interactive high-level object-oriented language
- python3.10 - Interactive high-level object-oriented language (version 3.10)
- python3.4 - An interactive high-level object-oriented language
- python3.5 - An interactive high-level object-oriented language
- python3.6 - An interactive high-level object-oriented language
- python3.8 - An interactive high-level object-oriented language
- python3.9 - Interactive high-level object-oriented language (version 3.9)
Details
It was discovered that Python incorrectly handled certain inputs.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code.
