Vulnerability Name:

CCN-9622

Published:2002-07-17
Updated:2002-07-17
Summary:A vulnerability in the SmartCookie class implementation of the Pickle module in Python version 1.5.2 could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system and possibly execute system() calls. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially-crafted "Pickle" string to the vulnerable application, which would be improperly handled by the eval() function.
