Slackware: 2024-252-01 Critical: Python3 Security Update

slackware
Calendar Grey September 9, 2024
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Updated Python 3 packages for Slackware 15.0 address multiple key security vulnerabilities, improving overall system protection.
New python3 packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix security issues

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/python3-3.9.20-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes security issues: Bundled libexpat was updated to 2.6.3. Fix quadratic complexity in parsing "-quoted cookie values with backslashes by http.cookies. Fixed various false positives and false negatives in IPv4Address.is_private, IPv4Address.is_global, IPv6Address.is_private, IPv6Address.is_global. Fix urllib.parse.urlunparse() and urllib.parse.urlunsplit() for URIs with path starting with multiple slashes and no authority. Remove backtracking from tarfile header parsing for hdrcharset, PAX, and GNU sparse headers. email.utils.getaddresses() and email.utils.parseaddr() now return (', ') 2-tuples in more situations where invalid email addresses are encountered instead of potentially inaccurate values. Add optional strict parameter to these two functions: use strict=False to get the old behavior, accept malformed inputs.
