I have a python security issue which python released a patch for this. Patch is not released as another new version of dll instead it is released as source only files
Issue : CVE-2020-15523 is an invalid search path in Python
Solution is to update a patch which is a github link
If you are using Python 3.9 or 3.8, just download newer releases from the website, which contain the fix.
If, as I understand it, you require an older version of Python: the patch was backported to 3.7 and 3.6 for source-only releases, which means that you should compile Python yourself if you want to use them. Follow the instructions in the developer’s guide:
You mean i need to checkout the appropriate version from git, in my case it is 3.8.4 and build the source using SDK, then I need to replace the python.dll which I got after building the code in my application?
Is it python.dll or python3x.dll??
Which folder I need to look for this dll after the build? is it bin?
