    Version        : 3.9.2-1+deb11u6
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-15366 CVE-2025-15367 CVE-2026-6100
    Debian Bug     :

    It was found that the patches for CVE-2025-15366 and CVE-2025-15367
    break backward compatibility, and upstream decided not to backport those
    patches to older Python releases. Therefore those 2 patches, applied in
    the previous version (python3.9 3.9.2-1+deb11u5), have been reverted.

    Additionally, the following CVE have been fixed:

    CVE-2026-6100

        Use-after-free (UAF) was possible in the `lzma.LZMADecompressor` and
        `bz2.BZ2Decompressor` when a memory allocation fails with a
        `MemoryError` and the decompression instance is re-used. This
        scenario can be triggered if the process is under memory pressure.
        The vulnerability is only present if the program re-uses
        decompressor instances across multiple decompression calls even
        after a `MemoryError` is raised during decompression. Using the
        helper functions to one-shot decompress data such as
        `lzma.decompress()` and `bz2.decompress()` are not affected as a new
        decompressor instance is used per call. If the decompressor instance
        is not re-used after an error condition, this usage is similarly not
        vulnerable.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    3.9.2-1+deb11u6.

    We recommend that you upgrade your python3.9 packages.

    its security tracker page at:
