python: Python: Privilege escalation due to insecure VPATH handling in Windows legacy installers
A flaw was found in Python. On Windows systems utilizing legacy installers, a low-privilege user can exploit insecure handling of the VPATH variable. This allows the user to create a specific landmark file outside the Python installation directory. Consequently, an alternative Lib folder can be...
