Ryan Smith-Roberts discovered that Python incorrectly handled buffer sizes when using the socket.recvfrom_into() function. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Python to crash, resulting in denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
