CVE-2011-1521  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.1 python-devel to version 2.7.17-7.32.1 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The urllib and urllib2 modules in Python 2.x before 2.7.2 and 3.x before 3.2.1 process Location headers that specify redirection to file: URLs, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a crafted URL, as demonstrated by the file:///etc/passwd and file:///dev/zero URLs.
