CVE-2024-7592
Sept. 4, 2024, 9:15 p.m.
7.5
High
Description
There is a LOW severity vulnerability affecting CPython, specifically the
'http.cookies' standard library module.
When parsing cookies that contained backslashes for quoted characters in
the cookie value, the parser would use an algorithm with quadratic
complexity, resulting in excess CPU resources being used while parsing the
value.

Weaknesses
Common security weaknesses mapped to this vulnerability.
CWE-1333
Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity
The product uses a regular expression with an inefficient, possibly exponential worst-case computational complexity that consumes excessive CPU cycles.
CWE-400
Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource, thereby enabling an actor to influence the amount of resources consumed, eventually leading to the exhaustion of available resources.
