CVE-2008-3143
Multiple integer overflows in Python before 2.5.2 might allow context-dependent attackers to have an unknown impact via vectors related to (1) Include/pymem.h; (2) _csv.c, (3) _struct.c, (4) arraymodule.c, (5) audioop.c, (6) binascii.c, (7) cPickle.c,…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.13%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
