Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.118268
Category:	Denial of Service
Title:	Python < 2.6.8, 2.7.x < 2.7.3, 3.1.x < 3.1.5, 3.2.x < 3.2.3 Hash DoS (bpo-13703) - Linux
Summary:	Python is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.
Description:	Summary: Python is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. Vulnerability Insight: Python computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a DoS (CPU consumption) via crafted input to an application that maintains a hash table. Affected Software/OS: Python prior to version 2.6.8, versions 2.7.x prior to 2.7.3, 3.1.x < 3.1.5 and 3.2.x prior to 3.2.3. Solution: Update to version 2.6.8, 2.7.3, 3.1.5, 3.2.3 or later. CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
