{"id":"ALSA-2024:8836","summary":"Moderate: python3.12 security update","details":"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\".  \n\nSecurity Fix(es):  \n\n  * python: cpython: tarfile: ReDos via excessive backtracking while parsing header values (CVE-2024-6232)\n\n\nFor more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.\n","modified":"2026-01-30T01:32:27.384633Z","published":"2024-11-05T00:00:00Z","related":["CVE-2024-6232"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2024:8836"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-6232"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2309426"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://errata.almalinux.org/8/ALSA-2024-8836.html"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"python3.12","ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/python3.12"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.12.6-1.el8_10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/AlmaLinux/osv-database/blob/master/advisories/almalinux8/ALSA-2024:8836.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python3.12-debug","ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/python3.12-debug"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.12.6-1.el8_10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/AlmaLinux/osv-database/blob/master/advisories/almalinux8/ALSA-2024:8836.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python3.12-devel","ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/python3.12-devel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.12.6-1.el8_10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/AlmaLinux/osv-database/blob/master/advisories/almalinux8/ALSA-2024:8836.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python3.12-idle","ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/python3.12-idle"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.12.6-1.el8_10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/AlmaLinux/osv-database/blob/master/advisories/almalinux8/ALSA-2024:8836.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python3.12-libs","ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/python3.12-libs"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.12.6-1.el8_10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/AlmaLinux/osv-database/blob/master/advisories/almalinux8/ALSA-2024:8836.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python3.12-rpm-macros","ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/python3.12-rpm-macros"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.12.6-1.el8_10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/AlmaLinux/osv-database/blob/master/advisories/almalinux8/ALSA-2024:8836.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python3.12-test","ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/python3.12-test"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.12.6-1.el8_10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/AlmaLinux/osv-database/blob/master/advisories/almalinux8/ALSA-2024:8836.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python3.12-tkinter","ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:8","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/python3.12-tkinter"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.12.6-1.el8_10"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/AlmaLinux/osv-database/blob/master/advisories/almalinux8/ALSA-2024:8836.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3"}
