{"id":"AZL-61870","summary":"CVE-2025-4516 affecting package python3 for versions less than 3.12.9-2","details":"There is an issue in CPython when using `bytes.decode(\"unicode_escape\", error=\"ignore|replace\")`. If you are not using the \"unicode_escape\" encoding or an error handler your usage is not affected. To work-around this issue you may stop using the error= handler and instead wrap the bytes.decode() call in a try-except catching the DecodeError.","modified":"2026-04-01T05:19:56.716845Z","published":"2025-05-15T14:15:31Z","upstream":["CVE-2025-4516"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-4516"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"python3","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/python3"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.12.9-2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-61870.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
