[slackware-security]  python3 (SSA:2024-339-01)

New python3 packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/python3-3.9.21-i586-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  This update fixes security issues:
  gh-126623: Upgraded libexpat to 2.6.4 to fix CVE-2024-50602.
  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.
  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 claim that literal_eval is safe.
