{"id":"AZL-109665","summary":"CVE-2023-36632 affecting package python-py 1.11.0-1","details":"The legacy email.utils.parseaddr function in Python through 3.11.4 allows attackers to trigger \"RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object\" via a crafted argument. This argument is plausibly an untrusted value from an application's input data that was supposed to contain a name and an e-mail address. NOTE: email.utils.parseaddr is categorized as a Legacy API in the documentation of the Python email package. Applications should instead use the email.parser.BytesParser or email.parser.Parser class. NOTE: the vendor's perspective is that this is neither a vulnerability nor a bug. The email package is intended to have size limits and to throw an exception when limits are exceeded; they were exceeded by the example demonstration code.","modified":"2026-10-23T06:21:25Z","published":"2023-06-25T18:15:09Z","upstream":["CVE-2023-36632"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-36632"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"python-py","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/python-py"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"1.11.0-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-109665.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.2","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
