Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Python (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue arises when filenames passed to the UU encoding methods, specifically in uu.py and uu codec.py, contain a newline character. This can cause data to overflow into the UU content section, potentially allowing for the injection, replacement, or corruption of data content in a file during the decoding process.
Recommendations
For all affected versions, the fix involves removing newline characters from filenames.
