Summary
python2.7, python3.5 vulnerabilities
Details

USN-7015-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in Python. This update provides one of the corresponding updates for python2.7 for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and a second for python3.5 for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that Python allowed excessive backtracking while parsing certain tarfile headers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Python to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected python3.5 for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (CVE-2024-6232)

It was discovered that the Python http.cookies module incorrectly handled parsing cookies that contained backslashes for quoted characters. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Python to consume resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2024-7592)
