NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream py3-cassandra-medusa package and not the py3-cassandra-medusa package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers. Prior to version 46.0.6, DNS name constraints were only validated against SANs within child certificates, and not the "peer name" presented during each validation. Consequently, cryptography would allow a peer named bar.example.com to validate against a wildcard leaf certificate for *.example.com, even if the leaf's parent certificate (or upwards) contained an excluded subtree constraint for bar.example.com. This issue has been patched in version 46.0.6.
