Thank you. Actually I only follow python-list@python.org. Uri. אורי uri@speedy.net On Sat, Feb 18, 2023 at 1:33 PM Pablo Galindo Salgado wrote:

Apologies!

It seems that I added python-comitters and python-announce but forgot to add python-dev. Here is the email to python-announce:

Mailman 3 [RELEASE] Python 3.11.2, Python 3.10.10 and 3.12.0 alpha 5 are available - Python-announce-list - python.org https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-announce-list@python.org/thread... mail.python.org https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-announce-list@python.org/thread...

Apologies for the confusion!

 Hi,

I was surprised that Python 3.11.2 and 3.10.10 have been released without a notice to this mailing list. What happened?

Thanks, Uri. אורי uri@speedy.net

Greetings! We bring you a slew of releases this fine Saint Nicholas / Sinterklaas day. Six simultaneous releases has got to be some record. There’s one more record we broke this time, you’ll see below.

In any case, updating is recommended due to security content:

3.7 - 3.12: gh-98739 https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/98739: Updated bundled libexpat to 2.5.0 to fix CVE-2022-43680 < https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-43680> (heap use-after-free). 3.7 - 3.12: gh-98433 https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/98433: The IDNA codec decoder used on DNS hostnames by socket or asyncio related name resolution functions no longer involves a quadratic algorithm to fix CVE-2022-45061 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-45061. This prevents a potential CPU denial of service if an out-of-spec excessive length hostname involving bidirectional characters were decoded. Some protocols such as urllib http 3xx redirects potentially allow for an attacker to supply such a name. 3.7 - 3.12: gh-100001 https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/100001: python -m http.server no longer allows terminal control characters sent within a garbage request to be printed to the stderr server log. 3.8 - 3.12: gh-87604 https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/87604: Avoid publishing list of active per-interpreter audit hooks via the gc module. 3.9 - 3.10 (already released in 3.11+ before): gh-97514 < https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/97514>: On Linux the multiprocessing module returns to using filesystem backed unix domain sockets for communication with the forkserver process instead of the Linux abstract socket namespace. Only code that chooses to use the “forkserver” start method is affected. This prevents Linux CVE-2022-42919 < https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-42919> (potential privilege escalation) as abstract sockets have no permissions and could allow any user on the system in the same network namespace (often the whole system) to inject code into the multiprocessing forkserver process. This was a potential privilege escalation. Filesystem based socket permissions restrict this to the forkserver process user as was the default in Python 3.8 and earlier. 3.7 - 3.10: gh-98517 https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/98517: Port XKCP’s fix for the buffer overflows in SHA-3 to fix CVE-2022-37454 < https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-37454>. 3.7 - 3.9 (already released in 3.10+ before): gh-68966 < https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/68966>: The deprecated mailcap module now refuses to inject unsafe text (filenames, MIME types, parameters) into shell commands to address CVE-2015-20107 < https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2015-20107>. Instead of using such text, it will warn and act as if a match was not found (or for test commands, as if the test failed). < https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-11-1-3-10-9-3-9-16-3-8-16-3-7-16-and-3-12-0-alpha-3-are-now-available/21724#python-3120-alpha-3-1>Python 3.12.0 alpha 3
