23th percentile - higher than 23% of all known CVEs

Summary

When decompressing crafted zip files using the bzip/LZMA/Zstandard compressions, Python could use an attacker-controlled size to pre-allocate memory, possibly resulting in memory exhaustion.

Risk Assessment

Attackers can cause memory exhaustion, leading to denial of service (DoS) in applications using Python to process zip files.

Recommendation

Update Python to a patched version. Limit processing of untrusted zip files.
