QID 982888

QID 982888: Python (pip) Security Update for rsa (GHSA-537h-rv9q-vvph)

Python-RSA 4.0 ignores leading '{DESCRIPTION}' bytes during decryption of ciphertext. This could conceivably have a security-relevant impact, e.g., by helping an attacker to infer that an application uses Python-RSA, or if the length of accepted ciphertext affects application behavior (such as by causing excessive memory allocation).

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
