Python multiple files integer overflow
| python-multiple-file-overflow (44173) |  High Risk |
Description:
Python is vulnerable to multiple integer overflows in the pymem.h, _csv.c, _struct.c, arraymodule.c, audioop.c, binascii.c, cPickle.c, cStringIO.c, multibytecodec.c, datetimemodule.c, md5.c, rgbimgmodule.c, stropmodule.c, bufferobject.c, listobject.c, obmalloc.c, node.c, asdl.c, ast.c, bltinmodule.c, and compile.c files. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using an unspecified attack vector to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges or cause the application to crash.
