CVE-2022-45061 3 Fedoraproject, Netapp, Python 10 Fedora, Active Iq Unified Manager, Bootstrap Os and 7 more 2025-11-03 N/A 7.5 HIGH
An issue was discovered in Python before 3.11.1. An unnecessary quadratic algorithm exists in one path when processing some inputs to the IDNA (RFC 3490) decoder, such that a crafted, unreasonably long name being presented to the decoder could lead to a CPU denial of service. Hostnames are often supplied by remote servers that could be controlled by a malicious actor; in such a scenario, they could trigger excessive CPU consumption on the client attempting to make use of an attacker-supplied supposed hostname. For example, the attack payload could be placed in the Location header of an HTTP response with status code 302. A fix is planned in 3.11.1, 3.10.9, 3.9.16, 3.8.16, and 3.7.16.
CVE-2022-42919 2 Fedoraproject, Python 2 Fedora, Python 2025-11-03 N/A 7.8 HIGH
Python 3.9.x before 3.9.16 and 3.10.x before 3.10.9 on Linux allows local privilege escalation in a non-default configuration. The Python multiprocessing library, when used with the forkserver start method on Linux, allows pickles to be deserialized from any user in the same machine local network namespace, which in many system configurations means any user on the same machine. Pickles can execute arbitrary code. Thus, this allows for local user privilege escalation to the user that any forkserver process is running as. Setting multiprocessing.util.abstract_sockets_supported to False is a workaround. The forkserver start method for multiprocessing is not the default start method. This issue is Linux specific because only Linux supports abstract namespace sockets. CPython before 3.9 does not make use of Linux abstract namespace sockets by default. Support for users manually specifying an abstract namespace socket was added as a bugfix in 3.7.8 and 3.8.3, but users would need to make specific uncommon API calls in order to do that in CPython before 3.9.
CVE-2021-3733 4 Fedoraproject, Netapp, Python and 1 more 20 Extra Packages For Enterprise Linux, Fedora, Hci Compute Node Firmware and 17 more 2025-11-03 4.0 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
There's a flaw in urllib's AbstractBasicAuthHandler class. An attacker who controls a malicious HTTP server that an HTTP client (such as web browser) connects to, could trigger a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDOS) during an authentication request with a specially crafted payload that is sent by the server to the client. The greatest threat that this flaw poses is to application availability.
CVE-2021-29921 2 Oracle, Python 6 Communications Cloud Native Core Automated Test Suite, Communications Cloud Native Core Binding Support Function, Communications Cloud Native Core Network Slice Selection Function and 3 more 2025-11-03 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
In Python before 3,9,5, the ipaddress library mishandles leading zero characters in the octets of an IP address string. This (in some situations) allows attackers to bypass access control that is based on IP addresses.
CVE-2020-10735 3 Fedoraproject, Python, Redhat 5 Fedora, Python, Enterprise Linux and 2 more 2025-11-03 N/A 7.5 HIGH
A flaw was found in python. In algorithms with quadratic time complexity using non-binary bases, when using int("text"), a system could take 50ms to parse an int string with 100,000 digits and 5s for 1,000,000 digits (float, decimal, int.from_bytes(), and int() for binary bases 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 are not affected). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
CVE-2015-20107 3 Fedoraproject, Netapp, Python 5 Fedora, Active Iq Unified Manager, Ontap Select Deploy Administration Utility and 2 more 2025-11-03 8.0 HIGH 7.6 HIGH
In Python (aka CPython) up to 3.10.8, the mailcap module does not add escape characters into commands discovered in the system mailcap file. This may allow attackers to inject shell commands into applications that call mailcap.findmatch with untrusted input (if they lack validation of user-provided filenames or arguments). The fix is also back-ported to 3.7, 3.8, 3.9
CVE-2025-48379 1 Python 1 Pillow 2025-10-15 N/A 7.1 HIGH
Pillow is a Python imaging library. In versions 11.2.0 to before 11.3.0, there is a heap buffer overflow when writing a sufficiently large (>64k encoded with default settings) image in the DDS format due to writing into a buffer without checking for available space. This only affects users who save untrusted data as a compressed DDS image. This issue has been patched in version 11.3.0.
CVE-2018-25032 12 Apple, Azul, Debian and 9 more 39 Mac Os X, Macos, Zulu and 36 more 2025-08-21 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
zlib before 1.2.12 allows memory corruption when deflating (i.e., when compressing) if the input has many distant matches.
CVE-2021-27923 2 Fedoraproject, Python 2 Fedora, Pillow 2025-08-15 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Pillow before 8.1.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) because the reported size of a contained image is not properly checked for an ICO container, and thus an attempted memory allocation can be very large.
CVE-2021-27922 2 Fedoraproject, Python 2 Fedora, Pillow 2025-08-15 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Pillow before 8.1.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) because the reported size of a contained image is not properly checked for an ICNS container, and thus an attempted memory allocation can be very large.
CVE-2021-27921 2 Fedoraproject, Python 2 Fedora, Pillow 2025-08-15 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Pillow before 8.1.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) because the reported size of a contained image is not properly checked for a BLP container, and thus an attempted memory allocation can be very large.
CVE-2025-47273 2 Debian, Python 2 Debian Linux, Setuptools 2025-06-12 N/A 8.8 HIGH
setuptools is a package that allows users to download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python packages. A path traversal vulnerability in `PackageIndex` is present in setuptools prior to version 78.1.1. An attacker would be allowed to write files to arbitrary locations on the filesystem with the permissions of the process running the Python code, which could escalate to remote code execution depending on the context. Version 78.1.1 fixes the issue.
CVE-2019-12900 6 Bzip, Canonical, Debian and 3 more 6 Bzip2, Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux and 3 more 2025-06-09 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
BZ2_decompress in decompress.c in bzip2 through 1.0.6 has an out-of-bounds write when there are many selectors.
CVE-2016-3189 2 Bzip, Python 2 Bzip2, Python 2025-06-09 4.3 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
Use-after-free vulnerability in bzip2recover in bzip2 1.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted bzip2 file, related to block ends set to before the start of the block.
CVE-2019-15903 2 Libexpat Project, Python 2 Libexpat, Python 2025-05-30 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
In libexpat before 2.2.8, crafted XML input could fool the parser into changing from DTD parsing to document parsing too early; a consecutive call to XML_GetCurrentLineNumber (or XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber) then resulted in a heap-based buffer over-read.
CVE-2022-37454 8 Debian, Extended Keccak Code Package Project, Fedoraproject and 5 more 8 Debian Linux, Extended Keccak Code Package, Fedora and 5 more 2025-05-08 N/A 9.8 CRITICAL
The Keccak XKCP SHA-3 reference implementation before fdc6fef has an integer overflow and resultant buffer overflow that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or eliminate expected cryptographic properties. This occurs in the sponge function interface.
CVE-2014-4616 4 Opensuse, Opensuse Project, Python and 1 more 4 Opensuse, Opensuse, Python and 1 more 2025-04-20 4.3 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM
Array index error in the scanstring function in the _json module in Python 2.7 through 3.5 and simplejson before 2.6.1 allows context-dependent attackers to read arbitrary process memory via a negative index value in the idx argument to the raw_decode function.
CVE-2017-2810 1 Python 1 Tablib 2025-04-20 7.5 HIGH 7.5 HIGH
An exploitable vulnerability exists in the Databook loading functionality of Tablib 0.11.4. A yaml loaded Databook can execute arbitrary python commands resulting in command execution. An attacker can insert python into loaded yaml to trigger this vulnerability.
CVE-2017-9233 3 Debian, Libexpat Project, Python 3 Debian Linux, Libexpat, Python 2025-04-20 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
XML External Entity vulnerability in libexpat 2.2.0 and earlier (Expat XML Parser Library) allows attackers to put the parser in an infinite loop using a malformed external entity definition from an external DTD.
CVE-2016-9015 1 Python 1 Urllib3 2025-04-20 2.6 LOW 3.7 LOW
Versions 1.17 and 1.18 of the Python urllib3 library suffer from a vulnerability that can cause them, in certain configurations, to not correctly validate TLS certificates. This places users of the library with those configurations at risk of man-in-the-middle and information leakage attacks. This vulnerability affects users using versions 1.17 and 1.18 of the urllib3 library, who are using the optional PyOpenSSL support for TLS instead of the regular standard library TLS backend, and who are using OpenSSL 1.1.0 via PyOpenSSL. This is an extremely uncommon configuration, so the security impact of this vulnerability is low.
