Severity

1 - LOW

CVSSv3 score

CVSSv3 score not available on NIST NVD.

Status

✅ 2.3.4

Assessment

msgpack-python is a Python implementation of the MessagePack serializer.

msgpack-python versions earlier than 0.6.0 set a very high object size default limit.

This makes it possible to pass extremely large objects for serialization, which results in the process using all the available system memory.

Mitigation

Update to msgpack-python 0.6.1.

Affected versions

2.3.3

Notes

msgpack-python is a used as a dependency only in EclecticIQ Platform 2.3.3
