Description

The SimpleXMLRPCServer library module in Python 2.2, 2.3 before 2.3.5, and 2.4, when used by XML-RPC servers that use the register_instance method to register an object without a _dispatch method, allows remote attackers to read or modify globals of the associated module, and possibly execute arbitrary code, via dotted attributes.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

v < 2.3.52.4.0
Affected range stops below 2.3.5, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
