Slackware: 2024-252-01: python3 Security Advisory Update
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....
