Slackware: 2022-250-01: python3 Security Update
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/python3-3.9.14-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This is a security and bugfix release. gh-95778: Converting between int and str in bases other than 2 (binary), 4, 8 (octal), 16 (hexadecimal), or 32 such as base 10 (decimal) now raises a ValueError if the number of digits in string form is above a limit to avoid potential denial of service attacks due to the algorithmic complexity.
