CVE-2020-14422

CVE-2020-14422 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in Python's ipaddress module (Lib/ipaddress.py) affecting versions through 3.8.3, as well as fedoraproject, opensuse, and oracle distributions. It allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by exploiting improperly computed hash values in IPv4Interface and IPv6Interface classes, leading to performance degradation in dictionaries containing these objects. Rated Medium severity (CVSS 5.9), the attack requires high complexity and no user interaction, but can result in high availability impact. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
