Descriptions

The asyncore module in Python before 3.2 does not properly handle unsuccessful calls to the accept function, and does not have accompanying documentation describing how daemon applications should handle unsuccessful calls to the accept function, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct denial of service attacks that terminate these applications via network connections.

El módulo asyncore en Python anterior a v3.2 no controla correctamente llamadas fallidas a la función accept, y no tiene la documentación adjunta que describa cómo las aplicaciones demonio atienden las llamadas sin éxito a la función accept, lo cual facilita a atacantes remotos realizar ataques de denegación de servicio que terminan estas aplicaciones a través de conexiones de red.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Python, worst of which allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service condition. Versions less than 3.3.2-r1 are affected.
