Chris Evans reported multiple integer overflows in the expandtabs
|
|
method, as implemented by (1) the string_expandtabs function in
|
|
Objects/stringobject.c and (2) the unicode_expandtabs function in
|
|
Objects/unicodeobject.c.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities in Python
|
|
applications or daemons that pass user-controlled input to vulnerable
|
|
functions. The security impact is currently unknown but may include the
|
|
execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.

<workaround>

There is no known workaround at this time.
