Title:	Python Connection Race Vulnerability (Jul 2024) - Windows
Summary:	Python is prone to a connection race vulnerability.
Description:	Summary: Python is prone to a connection race vulnerability. Vulnerability Insight: The 'socket' module provides a pure-Python fallback to the socket.socketpair() function for platforms that don't support AF_UNIX, such as Windows. This pure-Python implementation uses AF_INET or AF_INET6 to create a local connected pair of sockets. The connection between the two sockets was not verified before passing the two sockets back to the user, which leaves the server socket vulnerable to a connection race from a malicious local peer. Affected Software/OS: Python version 3.5 prior to version 3.8.20, 3.9.x prior to 3.9.20, 3.10.x prior to 3.10.15, 3.11.x prior to 3.11.10 and 3.12.x prior to 3.12.5. Platforms that support AF_UNIX such as Linux and macOS are not affected by this vulnerability. Solution: Update to version 3.8.20, 3.9.20, 3.10.15, 3.11.10, 3.12.5 or later. CVSS Score: 5.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:N
