Re: [Python-Dev] Python 3.11.2, 3.10.10
Apologies!
It seems that I added python-comitters and python-announce but forgot to
add python-dev. Here is the email to python-announce:

[1]Mailman 3 [RELEASE]
Python 3.11.2, Python
3.10.10 and 3.12.0 alpha 5
are available - [2]favicon.ico
Python-announce-list -
python.org
mail.python.org

Apologies for the confusion!
Regards from cloudy London,

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.

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
<[5]https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/98739>: Updated bundled
libexpat to 2.5.0 to fix CVE-2022-43680
<[6]https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-43680> (heap
use-after-free).
3.7 - 3.12: gh-98433
<[7]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 <[8]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
<[9]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
<[10]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
<[11]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 <[12]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
<[13]https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/98517>: Port XKCP’s fix
for the buffer overflows in SHA-3 to fix CVE-2022-37454
<[14]https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-37454>.
3.7 - 3.9 (already released in 3.10+ before): gh-68966
<[15]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
<[16]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).
