CVE-2008-3144  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-190  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.1 python-tk to version 2.7.17-7.32.2 or higher.

NVD Description

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

Multiple integer overflows in the PyOS_vsnprintf function in Python/mysnprintf.c in Python 2.5.2 and earlier allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or have unspecified other impact via crafted input to string formatting operations. NOTE: the handling of certain integer values is also affected by related integer underflows and an off-by-one error.
