Comment 1 Laura Pardo 2018-08-28 16:23:00 UTC
Created python-flask tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1623179]

Comment 20 Richard Maciel Costa 2019-03-29 13:07:41 UTC
Statement:

This issue affects the versions of python-flask as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Although Red Hat Satellite 6 contains the vulnerable component, the former is not affected due to python-flask only receiving JSON data created by other Red Hat Satellite 6 components, not user-controlled JSON data, which makes the attack unfeasible.
