Tracker summary

CVE-2024-8088 unimportant priority: Debian including 5 source packages (pypy3, python2.7, python3.11, python3.13, python3.9), 11 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 10, open 1.

Description:

There is a HIGH severity vulnerability affecting the CPython "zipfile" module affecting "zipfile.Path". Note that the more common API "zipfile.ZipFile" class is unaffected. When iterating over names of entries in a zip archive (for example, methods of "zipfile.Path" like "namelist()", "iterdir()", etc) the process can be put into an infinite loop with a maliciously crafted zip archive. This defect applies when reading only metadata or extracting the contents of the zip archive. Programs that are not handling user-controlled zip archives are not affected.
