Summary

Vulnerability with Python (CVE-2023-40217 This vulnerability have been addressed in the latest ClevOS releases

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2023-40217
**DESCRIPTION:**Python could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a race condition in the SSLSocket module. When the socket is closed before the TLS handshake is complete, the data is treated as if it had been encrypted by TLS. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass the TLS handshake and inject a malicious client certificate into the connection and gain access to the server’s resources without being authenticated.
CVSS Base score: 7.4
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/264374 for the current score.
