Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4532-1 [email protected]

Package : python3.9
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.
