Summary
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language, which includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems.
Security Fix(es):
* python: incorrect IPv4 and IPv6 private ranges (CVE-2024-4032)
* cpython: python: email module doesn't properly quotes newlines in email headers, allowing header injection (CVE-2024-6923)
* python: cpython: tarfile: ReDos via excessive backtracking while parsing header values (CVE-2024-6232)

Vulnerabilities 3
-
High 7.5
Incorrect IPv4 and IPv6 private ranges
The “ipaddress” module contained incorrect information about whether certain IPv4 and IPv6 addresses were designated as “globally reachable” or “private”. This affected the is_private and is_global properties of the ipaddress.IPv4Address, ipaddress.IPv4Networ…

High 7.5CVE-2024-6232 Public exploit
Regular-expression DoS when parsing TarFile headers
There is a MEDIUM severity vulnerability affecting CPython. Regular expressions that allowed excessive backtracking during tarfile.TarFile header parsing are vulnerable to ReDoS via specifically-crafted tar archives.
-
Medium 5.5
Email header injection due to unquoted newlines
There is a MEDIUM severity vulnerability affecting CPython. The email module didn’t properly quote newlines for email headers when serializing an email message allowing for header injection when an email is serialized.
