This package exists to allow developers to test their code against an older version of Python. This is not a full Python stack and if you wish to run your applications with Python 3.9, see other distributions that support it, such as CentOS or RHEL or older Fedora releases. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Python 3.9.21 security release. Security content in this release gh-122792: Changed IPv4-mapped ipaddress.IPv6Address to consistently use the mapped IPv4 address value for deciding properties. Properties which have their behavior fixed are is_multicast, is_reserved, is_link_local, is_global, and is_unspecified. CVE-2024-9287: gh-124651: Properly quote template strings in venv activation scripts. gh-103848: Added checks to ensure that [ bracketed ] hosts found by urllib.parse.urlsplit() are of IPv6 or IPvFuture format. gh-95588: Clarified the conflicting advice given in the ast documentation about ast.literal_eval() being "safe" for use on untrusted input while at the same time warning that it can crash the process. The latter statement is true and is deemed unfixable without a large amount of work unsuitable for a bugfix. So we keep the warning and no longer claimthat literal_eval is safe. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Dec 3 2024 Lumír Balhar - 3.9.21-1 - Update to 3.9.21 - Fixes: rhbz#2321662 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #2321662 - CVE-2024-9287 python3.9: Virtual environment (venv) activation scripts don't quote paths [fedora-all] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2321662 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
