How to fix?

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

NVD Description

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

CPython 3.9 and earlier doesn't disallow configuring an empty list ("[]") for SSLContext.set_npn_protocols() which is an invalid value for the underlying OpenSSL API. This results in a buffer over-read when NPN is used (see CVE-2024-5535 for OpenSSL). This vulnerability is of low severity due to NPN being not widely used and specifying an empty list likely being uncommon in-practice (typically a protocol name would be configured).
