CVE-2008-3144

Python < 2.5.2 - Integer Overflow in PyOS_vsnprintf String Formatting

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

Multiple integer overflows in the PyOS_vsnprintf function in Python/mysnprintf.c in Python 2.5.2 and earlier allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or have unspecified other impact via crafted input to string formatting operations. NOTE: the handling of certain integer values is also affected by related integer underflows and an off-by-one error.
