Original description
Python before 2.6.8, 2.7.x before 2.7.3, 3.x before 3.1.5, and 3.2.x before 3.2.3 computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted input to an application that maintains a hash table.
Affected software
- Python = 1.6= 2.6.1= 2.3.3= 3.1.1= 2.1.1= 2.1.2 exact match
