Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2024-6def755315

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name        : python3.12
Product     : Fedora 41
Version     : 3.12.6
Release     : 1.fc41
URL         : https://www.python.org/
Summary     : Version 3.12 of the Python interpreter
Description :
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.

Update Information:

This is the sixth maintenance release of Python 3.12
Python 3.12 is the newest major release of the Python programming language, and
it contains many new features and optimizations. 3.12.6 is the latest
maintenance release, containing about 90 bugfixes, build improvements and
documentation changes since 3.12.5. This is an expedited release to address the
following security issues:
gh-123067: Fix quadratic complexity in parsing "-quoted cookie values with
backslashes by http.cookies. Fixes CVE-2024-7592.
gh-121285: Remove backtracking from tarfile header parsing for hdrcharset, PAX,
and GNU sparse headers. That's CVE-2024-6232.
gh-102988: 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. getattr(email.utils, 'supports_strict_parsing', False)
can be use to check if the strict paramater is available. This improves the
CVE-2023-27043 fix.
gh-123270: Sanitize names in zipfile.Path to avoid infinite loops (gh-122905)
without breaking contents using legitimate characters. That's CVE-2024-8088.
