OESA-2026-2115 python3 security update

Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems. New built-in modules are easily written in C or C...

FreeBSD : Python -- use-after-free vulnerability in decompressors under memory pressure (b8e9f33c-375d-11f1-a119-e36228bfe7d4)

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the b8e9f33c-375d-11f1-a119-e36228bfe7d4 advisory. Seth Larson reports: There is a CRITICAL severity vulnerability affecting CPython. Use-after-free UAF w...

SUSE CVE-2026-6100

Use-after-free UAF was possible in the lzma.LZMADecompressor, bz2.BZ2Decompressor, and gzip.GzipFile 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 fix cleans up the dangling...

CVE-2026-6100

A flaw was found in Python's decompression modules, including lzma.LZMADecompressor, bz2.BZ2Decompressor, and gzip.GzipFile. This vulnerability, a use-after-free, can occur if a program attempts to re-use a decompression object after a memory allocation error, especially when the system is...

CVE-2026-6100

CVE-2026-6100 affects Python’s decompression modules: at least the in-process reuse of decompressor instances in lzma.LZMADecompressor , bz2.BZ2Decompressor , and gzip.GzipFile can lead to a Use-After-Free (UAF) if a memory allocation fails with a MemoryError and the decompressor is reused. The i...
