This bug is similar to #16037 and a modified copy of #16038. The imaplib module doesn't limit the amount of read data in its call to readline(). An erroneous or malicious IMAP server can trick the imaplib module to consume large amounts of memory. Suggestion: The imaplib module should be modified to use limited readline() with _MAXLINE like the httplib module. |
