"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-829 advisory.
Directory traversal vulnerability in the (1) extract and (2) extractall functions in the tarfile module in
Python allows user-assisted remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) sequence in
filenames in a TAR archive, a related issue to CVE-2001-1267. (CVE-2007-4559)
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.IPv4Network, ipaddress.IPv6Address, and ipaddress.IPv6Network
classes, where values wouldn't be returned in accordance with the latest information from the IANA
Special-Purpose Address Registries.
CPython 3.12.4 and 3.13.0a6 contain updated information from these registries and thus have the intended
behavior. (CVE-2024-4032)
There is a MEDIUM severity vulnerability affecting CPython.
Theemail module didn't properly quote newlines for email headers whenserializing an email message allowing
for header injection when an emailis serialized. (CVE-2024-6923)
There is a LOW severity vulnerability affecting CPython, specifically the'http.cookies' standard library
module.
When parsing cookies that contained backslashes for quoted characters inthe cookie value, the parser would
use an algorithm with quadraticcomplexity, resulting in excess CPU resources being used while parsing
thevalue. (CVE-2024-7592)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
