Hi,

You are receiving an AlmaLinux Security update email because you subscribed to receive errata
notifications from AlmaLinux.

AlmaLinux: 8
Type: Security
Severity: Moderate
Release date: 2024-09-24

Summary:

Python 3.12 is an accessible, high-level, dynamically typed, interpreted programming language,
designed with an emphasis on code readability. It includes an extensive standard library, and has a
vast ecosystem of third-party libraries.  The python3.12 package provides the "python3.12"
executable: the reference interpreter for the Python language, version 3. The majority of its
standard library is provided in the python3.12-libs package, which should be installed
automatically along with python3.12. The remaining parts of the Python standard library are broken
out into the python3.12-tkinter and python3.12-test packages, which may need to be installed
separately.  Documentation for Python is provided in the python3.12-docs package.  Packages
containing additional libraries for Python are generally named with the "python3.12-" prefix.  For
the unversioned "python" executable, see manual page "unversioned-python".

Security Fix(es):

* python: incorrect IPv4 and IPv6 private ranges (CVE-2024-4032)
* cpython: python: email module doesn't properly quotes newlines in email headers, allowing header
injection (CVE-2024-6923)
* python: cpython: Iterating over a malicious ZIP file may lead to Denial of Service
(CVE-2024-8088)
