Summary
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language, which includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems.
Security Fix(es):
* python: python: Arbitrary file write via tarfile extraction filter bypass (CVE-2026-114583)
* python: python: Misinterpretation of HTTP responses via invalid chunk parsing (CVE-2026-103995)
* python: python: Security bypass via null byte truncation in socket.getaddrinfo() (CVE-2026-116566)

Vulnerabilities 3
-
Medium 6.9
tar filter allows writing outside destination via empty-named symlink
tarfile.tar_filter could be bypassed using crafted link entries, including symlinks with empty or directory-like names, to redirect later archive members outside the intended extraction directory. This allowed a malicious tar archive to cause tarfile.extracta…
-
Medium 5.3
socket.getaddrinfo() accepts embedded null bytes in host and port
socket.getaddrinfo() previously accepted null bytes within *host* and *port* parameters which can cause the values to be silently truncated.
-
Low 2.0
Lenient parsing of integers for response body and chunk framing
Response body and chunk parsing would handle non-hex or negative integers incorrectly which could result in misinterpreting HTTP response contents.
