Summary

CVE-2023-5625 is a new vulnerability affecting the Red Hat build of python-eventlet. The issue arose due to a change in patch application strategy, leading to an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-21419 in certain builds of various Red Hat products. This regression means that these specific builds are now vulnerable to the original CVE, which involves a heap buffer overflow in eventlet's Greenlet implementation.
