Description:Summary:
Python is prone to a shell command injection vulnerability in
the mailcap module.

Vulnerability Insight:
In Python (aka CPython) the mailcap module does not add escape
characters into commands discovered in the system mailcap file. This may allow attackers to inject
shell commands into applications that call mailcap.findmatch with untrusted input (if they lack
validation of user-provided filenames or arguments).

Affected Software/OS:
Python prior to version 3.7.16, 3.8.x prior to 3.8.16,
3.9.x prior to 3.9.16 and 3.10.x prior to 3.10.8.

Solution:
Update to version 3.7.16, 3.8.16, 3.9.16, 3.10.8, 3.11
or later.
