Severity ?
3.6 (Low) - CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L
Summary
Python 2.7.14 is vulnerable to a Heap-Buffer-Overflow as well as a Heap-Use-After-Free. Python versions prior to 2.7.14 may also be vulnerable and it appears that Python 2.7.17 and prior may also be vulnerable however this has not been confirmed. The vulnerability lies when multiply threads are handling large amounts of data. In both cases there is essentially a race condition that occurs. For the Heap-Buffer-Overflow, Thread 2 is creating the size for a buffer, but Thread1 is already writing to the buffer without knowing how much to write. So when a large amount of data is being processed, it is very easy to cause memory corruption using a Heap-Buffer-Overflow. As for the Use-After-Free, Thread3->Malloc->Thread1->Free's->Thread2-Re-uses-Free'd Memory. The PSRT has stated that this is not a security vulnerability due to the fact that the attacker must be able to run code, however in some situations, such as function as a service, this vulnerability can potentially be used by an attacker to violate a trust boundary, as such the DWF feels this issue deserves a CVE.

Las versiones de Python anteriores a la 2.7.14 tambi\u00e9n podr\u00edan ser vulnerables y, aunque esto a\u00fan no se ha confirmado, las versiones 2.7.17 y anteriores de Python tambi\u00e9n podr\u00edan ser vulnerables. La vulnerabilidad aparece cuando m\u00faltiples hilos gestionan grandes cantidades de datos. En ambos casos, ocurre esencialmente una condici\u00f3n de carrera. Para el desbordamiento de b\u00fafer, el hilo 2 crea el tama\u00f1o para un b\u00fafer, pero el hilo 1 ya est\u00e1 escribiendo en el b\u00fafer sin saber cu\u00e1nto escribir. Por lo tanto, cuando se procesa una gran cantidad de datos,es muy f\u00e1cil provocar una corrupci\u00f3n de memoria mediante un desbordamiento de b\u00fafer basado en memoria din\u00e1mica (heap). En el caso del uso de memoria previamente liberada, Hilo3-\u003eMalloc-\u003eHilo1-\u003eLiberaci\u00f3n-\u003eHilo2-reutiliza la memoria liberada. El PSRT ha indicado que esta no es una vulnerabilidad de seguridad debido al hecho de que un atacante debe ser capaz de ejecutar c\u00f3digo. Sin embargo, en algunas situaciones, como la de las funciones como servicio, esta vulnerabilidad puede ser empleada por un atacante para infringir un l\u00edmite de confianza, por lo que DWF cree que este problema debe tener un CVE.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L\",\"baseScore\":3.6,\"baseSeverity\":\"LOW\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"HIGH\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"LOW\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"LOW\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.0,\"impactScore\":2.5}],\"cvssMetricV30\":[{\"source\":\"cve@mitre.org\",\"type\":\"Secondary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.0\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L\",\"baseScore\":3.6,\"baseSeverity\":\"LOW\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"HIGH\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"LOW\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"LOW\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.0,\"impactScore\":2.5}],\"cvssMetricV2\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"2.0\",\"vectorString\":\"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:P\",\"baseScore\":3.3,\"accessVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"accessComplexity\":\"MEDIUM\",\"authentication\":\"NONE\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"PARTIAL\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"PARTIAL\"},\"baseSeverity\":\"LOW\",\"exploitabilityScore\":3.4,\"impactScore\":4.9,\"acInsufInfo\":false,\"obtainAllPrivilege\":false,\"obtainUserPrivilege\":false,\"obtainOtherPrivilege\":false,\"userInteractionRequired\":false}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-416\"},{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-787\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:a:python:python:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionEndIncluding\":\"2.7.14\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"01E5CF3F-CAB9-4E6D-9FA9-911D78D71F59\"}]}]},{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:canonical:ubuntu_linux:12.04:*:*:*:esm:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"8D305F7A-D159-4716-AB26-5E38BB5CD991\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:canonical:ubuntu_linux:14.04:*:*:*:lts:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"B5A6F2F3-4894-4392-8296-3B8DD2679084\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:canonical:ubuntu_linux:16.04:*:*:*:lts:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"F7016A2A-8365-4F1A-89A2-7A19F2BCAE5B\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:canonical:ubuntu_linux:18.04:*:*:*:lts:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"23A7C53F-B80F-4E6A-AFA9-58EEA84BE11D\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://bugs.python.org/issue31530\",\"source\":\"cve@mitre.org\",\"tags\":[\"Issue Tracking\",\"Patch\",\"Vendor Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oyR9DAZjZK_SCn3mor6NRAYLJS6ueXaY/view\",\"source\":\"cve@mitre.org\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201811-02\",\"source\":\"cve@mitre.org\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://usn.ubuntu.com/3817-1/\",\"source\":\"cve@mitre.org\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://usn.ubuntu.com/3817-2/\",\"source\":\"cve@mitre.org\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sj3ee7xv55j36k7/AADwP-YfOYikBMuy32e0uvPFa?dl=0\",\"source\":\"cve@mitre.org\",\"tags\":[\"Permissions Required\"]},{\"url\":\"https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujan2020.html\",\"source\":\"cve@mitre.org\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://bugs.python.org/issue31530\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Issue Tracking\",\"Patch\",\"Vendor Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oyR9DAZjZK_SCn3mor6NRAYLJS6ueXaY/view\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201811-02\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://usn.ubuntu.com/3817-1/\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://usn.ubuntu.com/3817-2/\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]},{\"url\":\"https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sj3ee7xv55j36k7/AADwP-YfOYikBMuy32e0uvPFa?dl=0\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Permissions Required\"]},{\"url\":\"https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cpujan2020.html\",\"source\":\"af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108\",\"tags\":[\"Third Party Advisory\"]}]}}"
