<impact type="normal">
|
||
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted index
|
||
file using Python’s dumbdbm module, possibly resulting in execution of
|
||
arbitrary code with the privileges of the process.

</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
|
||
input stream using Python’s zipimporter module, possibly allowing
|
||
attackers to cause unspecified impact.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>A man in the middle attacker could strip out the STARTTLS command
|
||
without generating an exception on the Python SMTP client application,
|
||
preventing the establishment of the TLS layer.
