The smtplib library in CPython (aka Python) before 2.7.12, 3.x before 3.4.5, and 3.5.x before 3.5.2 does not return an error when StartTLS fails, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to bypass the TLS protections by leveraging a network position between the client and the registry to block the StartTLS command, aka a "StartTLS stripping attack."
The smtplib library in CPython (aka Python) before 2.7.12, 3.x before 3.4.5, and 3.5.x before 3.5.2 does not return an error when StartTLS fails, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to bypass the TLS protections by leveraging a network position between the client and the registry to block the StartTLS command, aka a "StartTLS stripping attack."
La librería smtplib en CPython (también conocido como Python) en versiones anteriores a 2.7.12, 3.x en versiones anteriores a 3.4.5 y 3.5.x en versiones anteriores a 3.5.2 no devuelve un error cuando StartTLS falla, lo que podría permitir a atacantes man-in-the-middle eludir las protecciones TLS mediante el aprovechamiento de una posición de red entre el cliente y el registro para bloquear el comando StartTLS, también conocido como un "ataque de decapado StartTLS".
