NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream satellite/iop-advisor-backend-rhel9 package and not the satellite/iop-advisor-backend-rhel9 package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

urllib3 is an HTTP client library for Python. From 1.10.3 until 2.8.0, the HTTPResponse.read_chunked and HTTPResponse.stream methods can allocate unbounded memory because the streaming chunk parser buffers the chunk-size field until newline or EOF without a length bound. The trigger is that a malicious server returns Transfer-Encoding: chunked followed by a very long run of bytes without a newline. The attack mechanism is that a malicious HTTP server sends a very long unterminated chunk-size line. The impact is that unbounded memory allocation can exhaust the client process. This issue is fixed in version 2.8.0.
