- CVEs with nessus.description==The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200509-08
(Python: Heap overflow in the included PCRE library)
The 're' Python module makes use of a private copy of libpcre
which is subject to an integer overflow leading to a heap overflow (see
GLSA 200508-17).
Impact :
An attacker could target a Python-based web application (or SUID
application) that would use untrusted data as regular expressions,
potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code (or privilege
escalation).
Workaround :
Python users that don't run any Python web application or SUID
application (or that run one that wouldn't use untrusted inputs as
regular expressions) are not affected by this issue.
