NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-rsa.src package and not the python-rsa.src package as distributed by RHEL.

Python-RSA before 4.1 ignores leading '\0' bytes during decryption of ciphertext. This could conceivably have a security-relevant impact, e.g., by helping an attacker to infer that an application uses Python-RSA, or if the length of accepted ciphertext affects application behavior (such as by causing excessive memory allocation).
