Denial of service vulnerability in python in Apple OS X via a file size value larger than the size of the zip file| ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:26686 | Date: (C)2015-09-11 (M)2022-10-10 |
| Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: macos |
The host is installed with Apple Mac OS X or Server 10.10.x through 10.10.4 and is prone to a denial of service vulnerability. A flaw is present in the application, which fails to handle a file size value larger than the size of the zip file to the (1) ZipExtFile.read, (2) ZipExtFile.read(n), (3) ZipExtFile.readlines, (4) ZipFile.extract, or (5) ZipFile.extractall function. Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption).
