Category:Denial of Service
Title:Python DoS Vulnerability (Dec 2024) - 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:
The asyncio._SelectorSocketTransport.writelines() method will
not 'pause' writing and signal to the Protocol to drain the buffer to the wire once the write
buffer reaches the 'high-water mark'. Because of this, Protocols do not periodically drain the
write buffer potentially leading to memory exhaustion.

Affected Software/OS:
Python versions 3.12.x prior to 3.12.9 and 3.13.x prior to
3.13.2.

Solution:
Update to version 3.12.9, 3.13.2 or later.

CVSS Score:
