CWE-1333  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.4 python3-py to version 1.10.0-150100.5.12.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-py package and not the python3-py package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

The py library through 1.11.0 for Python allows remote attackers to conduct a ReDoS (Regular expression Denial of Service) attack via a Subversion repository with crafted info data, because the InfoSvnCommand argument is mishandled. Note: This has been disputed by multiple third parties as not being reproduceable and they argue this is not a valid vulnerability.
