python-urllib3 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 26.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 25.10
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in urllib3.

Software Description:
- python-urllib3: HTTP library with thread-safe connection pooling

Details:

It was discovered that urllib3 incorrectly handled cross-origin redirects
in ProxyManager. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain
sensitive information. (CVE-2026-44431)

It was discovered that urllib3 incorrectly handled decompression of
specially crafted responses. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause urllib3 to consume resources, leading to a denial of
service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-44432)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS
  python3-urllib3                 2.6.3-1ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 25.10
  python3-urllib3                 2.3.0-3ubuntu0.6

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
  python3-urllib3                 1.26.5-1~exp1ubuntu0.7

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
