How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.1 libpython3_6m1_0 to version 3.6.10-3.53.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libpython3_6m1_0 package and not the libpython3_6m1_0 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in Python through 2.7.16, 3.x through 3.5.7, 3.6.x through 3.6.9, and 3.7.x through 3.7.4. The email module wrongly parses email addresses that contain multiple @ characters. An application that uses the email module and implements some kind of checks on the From/To headers of a message could be tricked into accepting an email address that should be denied. An attack may be the same as in CVE-2019-11340; however, this CVE applies to Python more generally.
