Calendar Grey December 12, 2025
Dist Opensuse Esm H88
The latest openSUSE python update addresses two low-severity vulnerabilities related to performance and ZIP archive issues.
An update that solves two vulnerabilities can now be installed.

Description

This update for python fixes the following issues:

* CVE-2025-6075: quadratic complexity in `os.path.expandvars()` can lead to

performance degradation when values passed to it are user-controlled

(bsc#1252974).

* CVE-2025-8291: lack of validity checks on the ZIP64 End of Central Directory

(EOCD) record allows for the creation of ZIP archives that are processed

inconsistently by the `zipfile` module (bsc#1251305).
