CVE-2026-3298

HIGH

Out-of-bounds write in Windows asyncio.ProacterEventLoop.sock_recvfrom_into() when using nbytes

Title source: cna

Description

The method "sock_recvfrom_into()" of "asyncio.ProacterEventLoop" (Windows only) was missing a boundary check for the data buffer when using nbytes parameter. This allowed for an out-of-bounds buffer write if data was larger than the buffer size. Non-Windows platforms are not affected.
