CWE-362  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.1 python3-tk to version 3.6.10-3.42.2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-tk package and not the python3-tk package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

Race condition in the _get_masked_mode function in Lib/os.py in Python 3.2 through 3.5, when exist_ok is set to true and multiple threads are used, might allow local users to bypass intended file permissions by leveraging a separate application vulnerability before the umask has been set to the expected value.
