Descriptions

Buffer overflow in the socket.recvfrom_into function in Modules/socketmodule.c in Python 2.5 before 2.7.7, 3.x before 3.3.4, and 3.4.x before 3.4rc1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted string.

Desbordamiento de buffer en la función socket.recvfrom_into en Modules/socketmodule.c en Python 2.5 anterior a 2.7.7, 3.x anterior a 3.3.4 y 3.4.x anterior a 3.4rc1 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una cadena manipulada.

It was discovered that the socket.recvfrom_into() function failed to check the size of the supplied buffer. This could lead to a buffer overflow when the function was called with an insufficiently sized buffer.
