How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 python33-python-tools.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python33-python-tools package and not the python33-python-tools package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Race condition in the _get_masked_mode function in Lib/os.py in Python 3.2 through 3.5, when exist_ok is set to true and multiple threads are used, might allow local users to bypass intended file permissions by leveraging a separate application vulnerability before the umask has been set to the expected value.
