CVEs: CVE-2023-6597, CVE-2024-0450, gh-81194, gh-102388, gh-113659, gh-114572, gh-115243
CVSSs: 7.8, 6.2, n/a, n/a, n/a, n/a, n/a
Action Needed: update to >= 3.12.3, 3.11.9

Summary:

• CVE-2023-6597: An issue was found in the CPython tempfile.TemporaryDirectory class affecting versions 3.12.2, 3.11.8, 3.10.13, 3.9.18, and 3.8.18 and prior. The tempfile.TemporaryDirectory class would dereference symlinks during cleanup of permissions-related errors. This means users which can run privileged programs are potentially able to modify permissions of files referenced by symlinks in some circumstances.

• CVE-2024-0450: An issue was found in the CPython zipfile module affecting versions 3.12.2, 3.11.8, 3.10.13, 3.9.18, and 3.8.18 and prior. The zipfile module is vulnerable to “quoted-overlap” zip-bombs which exploit the zip format to create a zip-bomb with a high compression ratio. The fixed versions of CPython makes the zipfile module reject zip archives which overlap entries in the archive.

• gh-81194: a crash in socket.if_indextoname() with a specific value (UINT_MAX) was fixed. Relatedly, an integer overflow in socket.if_indextoname() on 64-bit non-Windows platforms was fixed
• gh-102388: iso2022_jp_3 and iso2022_jp_2004 codecs no longer read out of bounds
• gh-113659: .pth files with names starting with a dot or containing the hidden file attribute are now skipped
• gh-114572: ssl.SSLContext.cert_store_stats() and ssl.SSLContext.get_ca_certs() now correctly lock access to the certificate store, when the ssl.SSLContext is shared across multiple threads
• gh-115243: Fix possible crashes in collections.deque.index() when the deque is concurrently modified.

Added gh-115243.

BTW according to a Gentoo maintainer's comment, some of the CVEs/gh issues might be already included in older versions, confusing, but I did not check it myself.
