    This is a security release of Python 3.11
    -----------------------------------------

    **Note:** The release you're looking at is Python 3.11.10, a **security bugfix release** for the legacy
    3.11 series. *Python 3.12* is now the latest feature release series of Python 3.

    Security content in this release
    --------------------------------

    -   [gh-123067](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/123067): Fix quadratic complexity in parsing
    ``-quoted cookie values with backslashes by
    [`http.cookies`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.cookies.html#module-http.cookies). Fixes
    CVE-2024-7592.
    -   [gh-113171](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/113171): Fixed various false positives and false
    negatives in IPv4Address.is_private, IPv4Address.is_global, IPv6Address.is_private, IPv6Address.is_global.
    Fixes CVE-2024-4032.
    -   [gh-67693](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/67693): Fix
    [`urllib.parse.urlunparse()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.parse.html#urllib.parse.urlunparse)
    and
    [`urllib.parse.urlunsplit()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.parse.html#urllib.parse.urlunsplit)
    for URIs with path starting with multiple slashes and no authority. Fixes CVE-2015-2104.
    -   [gh-121957](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/121957): Fixed missing audit events around
    interactive use of Python, now also properly firing for `python -i`, as well as for `python -m asyncio`.
    The event in question is `cpython.run_stdin`.
    -   [gh-122133](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/122133): Authenticate the socket connection for
    the `socket.socketpair()` fallback on platforms where `AF_UNIX` is not available like Windows.
    -   [gh-121285](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/121285): Remove backtracking from tarfile header
    parsing for `hdrcharset`, PAX, and GNU sparse headers. That's CVE-2024-6232.
    -   [gh-114572](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/114572): [`ssl.SSLContext.cert_store_stats()`](ht
    tps://docs.python.org/3/library/ssl.html#ssl.SSLContext.cert_store_stats) and
    [`ssl.SSLContext.get_ca_certs()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/ssl.html#ssl.SSLContext.get_ca_certs)
    now correctly lock access to the certificate store, when the
    [`ssl.SSLContext`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/ssl.html#ssl.SSLContext) is shared across multiple
    threads.
    -   [gh-102988](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/102988): [`email.utils.getaddresses()`](https://d
    ocs.python.org/3/library/email.utils.html#email.utils.getaddresses) and
    [`email.utils.parseaddr()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/email.utils.html#email.utils.parseaddr) now
    return `('', '')` 2-tuples in more situations where invalid email addresses are encountered instead of
    potentially inaccurate values. Add optional *strict* parameter to these two functions: use `strict=False`
    to get the old behavior, accept malformed inputs. `getattr(email.utils, 'supports_strict_parsing', False)`
    can be use to check if the *strict* paramater is available. This improves the CVE-2023-27043 fix.
    -   [gh-123270](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/123270): Sanitize names in
    [`zipfile.Path`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/zipfile.html#zipfile.Path) to avoid infinite loops
    ([gh-122905](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/122905)) without breaking contents using legitimate
    characters. That's CVE-2024-8088.
    -   [gh-121650](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/121650):
    [`email`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/email.html#module-email) headers with embedded newlines are
    now quoted on output. The [`generator`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/email.generator.html#module-
    email.generator) will now refuse to serialize (write) headers that are unsafely folded or delimited; see [
    `verify_generated_headers`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/email.policy.html#email.policy.Policy.verify
    _generated_headers). That's CVE-2024-6923.
    -   [gh-119690](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/119690): Fixes data type confusion in audit
    events raised by `_winapi.CreateFile` and `_winapi.CreateNamedPipe`.
    -   [gh-116773](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/116773): Fix instances of
    `<_overlapped.Overlapped object at 0xXXX> still has pending operation at deallocation, the process may
    crash`.
    -   [gh-112275](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/112275): A deadlock involving `pystate.c`'s
    `HEAD_LOCK` in `posixmodule.c` at fork is now fixed.This is a security release of Python 3.9
    ----------------------------------------

    **Note:** The release you're looking at is Python 3.9.20, a **security bugfix release** for the legacy 3.9
    series. *Python 3.12* is now the latest feature release series of Python 3. [Get the latest release of
    3.12.x here](https://www.python.org/downloads/).

    [gh-116741](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/116741): Upgrade bundled libexpat to 2.6.3 to fix
    [CVE-2024-28757](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-ch5v-h69f-mxc8),
    [CVE-2024-45490](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-4hvh-m426-wv8w),

    -   [gh-118486](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/118486):
    [`os.mkdir()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.mkdir) on Windows now accepts *mode* of
    `0o700` to restrict the new directory to the current user. This fixes CVE-2024-4030 affecting
    [`tempfile.mkdtemp()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/tempfile.html#tempfile.mkdtemp) in scenarios
    where the base temporary directory is more permissive than the default.
    -   [gh-123067](https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/123067): Fix quadratic complexity in parsing
    ``-quoted cookie values with backslashes by
