A vulnerability was found in Python. This issue occurs in the legacy email.utils.parseaddr function in Python that allows attackers to trigger a “RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object” via a crafted argument. This argument is plausibly an untrusted value from an application’s input data that was supposed to contain a name and an e-mail address.
