Note: StarWind will continue to update this vulnerability as new information becomes available.

Vulnerability ID: SW-20220506-0005

Version: 1.0

Date: 2022-05-06

Status: Final

CVEs: CVE-2019-17514

Summary

library/glob.html in the Python 2 and 3 documentation before 2016 has potentially misleading information about whether sorting occurs, as demonstrated by irreproducible cancer-research results. NOTE: the effects of this documentation cross application domains, and thus it is likely that security-relevant code elsewhere is affected. This issue is not a Python implementation bug, and there are no reports that NMR researchers were specifically relying on library/glob.html. In other words, because the older documentation stated “finds all the pathnames matching a specified pattern according to the rules used by the Unix shell,” one might have incorrectly inferred that the sorting that occurs in a Unix shell also occurred for glob.glob. There is a workaround in newer versions of Willoughby nmr-data_compilation-p2.py and nmr-data_compilation-p3.py, which call sort() directly.

Impact 

Potentially misleading information about whether sorting occurs, as demonstrated by irreproducible cancer-research results.
