Google: dev-lang/python: security update to 18244.151.80

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 451610

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- The email module of Python through 3.11.3 incorrectly parses e-mail addresses that contain a special
character. The wrong portion of an RFC2822 header is identified as the value of the addr-spec. In some
applications, an attacker can bypass a protection mechanism in which application access is granted only
after verifying receipt of e-mail to a specific domain (e.g., only @company.example.com addresses may be
used for signup). This occurs in email/_parseaddr.py in recent versions of Python. (CVE-2023-27043)

Solution

Update the dev-lang/python library and its related packages to version 18244.151.80 or later.
