What it is about

Python ist eine universelle, üblicherweise interpretierte, höhere Programmiersprache. Ein Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in Python ausnutzen, um einen nicht näher spezifizierten Angriff durchzuführen, um einen Denial of Service Angriff durchzuführen, und um Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen.

Under what conditions?

The BSI does not name any particular preconditions. Exploitable remotely according to the BSI.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • einen nicht näher spezifizierten Angriff durchzuführen
  • einen Denial of Service Angriff durchzuführen
  • Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

  • Debian Linux
  • Amazon Linux 2
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • IBM AIX
  • RESF Rocky Linux
  • SUSE Linux
  • SUSE openSUSE
  • Oracle Linux
  • Open Source Python CPython

The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.

What helps?

Install the updates provided by the vendor; details in the sources below.

Is the vulnerability already being exploited?

None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
