NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python39-tkinter package and not the python39-tkinter package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Python (aka CPython) up to 3.10.8, 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). The fix is also back-ported to 3.7, 3.8, 3.9
