Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.112995
Category:	Denial of Service
Title:	Python 2.7 < 3.4 DoS Vulnerability (bpo-14621) - 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 only uses the last eight bits of the prefix to randomize hash values, which causes it to compute hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably and makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted input to an application that maintains a hash table. Affected Software/OS: Python 2.7 before 3.4. Solution: The vendor has released updates. Please see the references for more information. CVSS Score: 4.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
