Hi,
Good news: Python 3.6.3 has no more known security vulnerabilities ;-)
Python 3.6.3 fixes two security vulnerabilities:
"urllib FTP protocol stream injection"
https://python-security.readthedocs.io/vuln/urllib_ftp_protocol_stream_injec...
"Expat 2.2.3" (don't impact Linux, since Linux distros use the system
expat library)
https://python-security.readthedocs.io/vuln/expat_2.2.3.html
Note: I'm not sure that the vulnerabilities fixed in Expat 2.2.2 and
Expat 2.2.3 really impacted Python, since Python uses its own entropy
source to set the "hash secret", but well, it's usually safer to use a
more recent library version :-)
