It was found that the patches for CVE-2025-15366 and CVE-2025-15367 break backward compatibility, and upstream decided not to backport those patches to older Python releases. Therefore those 2 patches, applied in the previous version (python3.9 3.9.2-1+deb11u5), have been reverted. Additionally, the following CVE have been fixed:.

Therefore those 2 patches, applied in the previous version (python3.9 3.9.2-1+deb11u5), have been reverted. Additionally, the following CVE have been fixed: CVE-2026-6100 Use-after-free (UAF) was possible in the `lzma.LZMADecompressor` and `bz2.BZ2Decompressor` when a memory allocation fails with a `MemoryError` and the decompression instance is re-used. This scenario can be triggered if the process is under memory pressure. The vulnerability is only present if the program re-uses decompressor instances across multiple decompression calls even after a `MemoryError` is raised during decompression. Using the helper functions to one-shot decompress data such as `lzma.decompress()` and `bz2.decompress()` are not affected as a new decompressor instance is used per call. If the decompressor instance is not re-used after an error condition, this usage is similarly not vulnerable. For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 3.9.2-1+deb11u6. We recommend that you upgrade your python3.9 packages.
