How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:8 python27:2.7/python2-pip-wheel.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python27:2.7/python2-pip-wheel package and not the python27:2.7/python2-pip-wheel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Lib/ipaddress.py in Python through 3.8.3 improperly computes hash values in the IPv4Interface and IPv6Interface classes, which might allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service if an application is affected by the performance of a dictionary containing IPv4Interface or IPv6Interface objects, and this attacker can cause many dictionary entries to be created. This is fixed in: v3.5.10, v3.5.10rc1; v3.6.12; v3.7.9; v3.8.4, v3.8.4rc1, v3.8.5, v3.8.6, v3.8.6rc1; v3.9.0, v3.9.0b4, v3.9.0b5, v3.9.0rc1, v3.9.0rc2.
