A critical security vulnerability (CVE-2021-3177) that allows for buffer overrun exploits, such as denial of service or the running of malicious code, affects Python 2. As such, we have released a fix for Python 2 as part of our Python 2 End of Life extended support. We have also made the source code available for security experts and open source maintainers to review and incorporate into their projects.
The simplest way to check your environment for vulnerabilities is by using our interactive documentation. See how to view vulnerabilities with our Platform.
