NVD Description

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

In Python 3.8.4, sys.path restrictions specified in a python38._pth file are ignored, allowing code to be loaded from arbitrary locations. The <executable-name>._pth file (e.g., the python._pth file) is not affected.
