NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python38-asn1crypto package and not the python38-asn1crypto package as distributed by RHEL.

In Python (aka CPython) up to 3.10.8, the mailcap module does not add escape characters into commands discovered in the system mailcap file. This may allow attackers to inject shell commands into applications that call mailcap.findmatch with untrusted input (if they lack validation of user-provided filenames or arguments). The fix is also back-ported to 3.7, 3.8, 3.9
