Vulnerability from github – Published: 2021-05-11 22:34 – Updated: 2021-12-14 18:12
VLAI
Summary
Incorrect Calculation and Use of Insufficiently Random Values in Python
Details

Lib/ipaddress.py in Python through 3.8.3 improperly computes hash values in the IPv4Interface and IPv6Interface classes, which might allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service if an application is affected by the performance of a dictionary containing IPv4Interface or IPv6Interface objects, and this attacker can cause many dictionary entries to be created.

Severity
5.9 (Medium)
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
