CVE-2023-23931 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 1 source packages (python-cryptography), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 5.
cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers. In affected versions `Cipher.update_into` would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as `bytes`) to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This now correctly raises an exception. This issue has been present since `update_into` was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.
