{"id":"RLSA-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\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.","modified":"2026-03-11T06:30:09.397581Z","published":"2024-11-08T15:56:47.559546Z","upstream":["CVE-2024-6232"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://errata.rockylinux.org/RLSA-2024:8836"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2309426"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"python3.12","ecosystem":"Rocky Linux:8","purl":"pkg:rpm/rocky-linux/python3.12?distro=rocky-linux-8&epoch=0"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0:3.12.6-1.el8_10"}],"database_specific":{"yum_repository":"AppStream"}}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/resf-osv-data/RLSA-2024:8836.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","credits":[{"name":"Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation"},{"name":"Red Hat"}]}
