AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
python is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS). The vulnerability exists as a buffer over-read flaw was found in the way the Python Expat parser handled malformed UTF-8 sequences when processing XML files. A specially-crafted XML file could cause Python applications using the Python Expat parser to crash while parsing the file.
