NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python38-mod_wsgi package and not the python38-mod_wsgi package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

PyYAML 5.1 through 5.1.2 has insufficient restrictions on the load and load_all functions because of a class deserialization issue, e.g., Popen is a class in the subprocess module. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-18342.
