<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>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.

without generating an exception on the Python SMTP client application,

preventing the establishment of the TLS layer.
