USN-7015-3: Python vulnerability

Read Time:1 Minute, 8 Second

USN-7015-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Python. This update provides
the corresponding updates for CVE-2023-27043 for python2.7 in Ubuntu 16.04
LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and for
python3.5 in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that the Python email module incorrectly parsed email
addresses that contain special characters. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to bypass certain protection mechanisms.
(CVE-2023-27043)

It was discovered that Python allowed excessive backtracking while parsing
certain tarfile headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue
to cause Python to consume resources, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2024-6232)

It was discovered that the Python email module incorrectly quoted newlines
for email headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
perform header injection. (CVE-2024-6923)
