CVE-2018-14647

Python's elementtree C accelerator failed to initialise Expat's hash salt during initialization. This could make it easy to conduct denial of service attacks against Expat by constructing an XML document that would cause pathological hash collisions in Expat's internal data structures, consuming large amounts CPU and RAM. The vulnerability exists in Python versions 3.7.0, 3.6.0 through 3.6.6, 3.5.0 through 3.5.6, 3.4.0 through 3.4.9, 2.7.0 through 2.7.15.

El acelerador de C elementtree en Python no inicializa la sal del hash Expat durante la inicialización. Esto podría facilitar llevar a cabo ataques de denegación de servicio (DoS) contra Expat construyendo un documento XML que provocaría colisiones de hashes en las estructuras internas de datos de Expat, consumiendo grandes cantidades de CPU y RAM. La vulnerabilidad existe en Python versión 3.7.0, versiones 3.6.0 a 3.6.6, versiones 3.5.0 a 3.5.6, versiones 3.4.0 a 3.4.9, versiones 2.7.0 a 2.7.15.
