Amazon Linux 2023 Security Advisory: ALAS-2023-116
Advisory Release Date: 2023-03-06 17:50 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2023-03-08 00:51 Pacific
Severity: Medium

Issue Overview:

A flaw was found in python. In algorithms with quadratic time complexity using non-binary bases, when using int(text), a system could take 50ms to parse an int string with 100,000 digits and 5s for 1,000,000 digits (float, decimal, int.from_bytes(), and int() for binary bases 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 are not affected). The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2020-10735)

An issue in the urllib.parse component of Python before v3.11 allows attackers to bypass blocklisting methods by supplying a URL that starts with blank characters. (CVE-2023-24329)
