CVE-2013-7338

Improper privilege management in Python allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

The email module in Python through 3.11.3 incorrectly parses email addresses containing special characters. The wrong portion of an RFC2822 header is identified as the value of the addr-spec.

The email module in Python, specifically the BytesGenerator class, improperly quotes newlines in email headers during serialization, allowing header injection. This only affects usage of LiteralHeader that does not respect email folding.

A vulnerability in Python 3.9.x before 3.9.16 and 3.10.x before 3.10.9 on Linux allows local privilege escalation in a non-default configuration. The multiprocessing library with the forkserver start method permits pickle deserialization from any user on the same local network of the machine.

A vulnerability in the urllib.parse component of Python before version 3.11.4 allows attackers to bypass blocklisting methods by supplying a URL that starts with blank characters.

A flaw was found in Python's urllib.parse module where the urlparse method does not sanitize input, allowing characters like ' ' and ' ' in the URL path. This can lead to CRLF injection attacks.

A flaw was found in Python. In algorithms with quadratic time complexity using non-binary bases, when using int("text"), a system could take 50ms to parse an int string with 100,000 digits and 5s for 1,000,000 digits (float, decimal, int.from_bytes(), and int() for binary bases 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 are not affected). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

In Python before 3.9.5, the ipaddress library mishandles leading zero characters in the octets of an IP address string. This (in some situations) allows attackers to bypass access control that is based on IP addresses.

In Python 3 through 3.9.0, the Lib/test/multibytecodec_support.py CJK codec tests call eval() on content retrieved via HTTP. This may lead to arbitrary code execution if the content is crafted.

http.client in Python 3.x before 3.5.10, 3.6.x before 3.6.12, 3.7.x before 3.7.9, and 3.8.x before 3.8.5 allows CRLF injection if the attacker controls the HTTP request method, e.g., by inserting CR and LF control characters in the first argument of HTTPConnection.request.
