| Vetor | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Python versions prior to 3.2
Description
The issue concerns the asyncore module in Python, which does not properly handle unsuccessful calls to the accept function. This lack of proper handling, combined with the absence of documentation on how daemon applications should manage such unsuccessful calls, facilitates denial of service attacks. These attacks can terminate daemon applications via network connections.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 3.2, consider updating to a version that properly handles unsuccessful calls to the accept function to prevent denial of service attacks.
