The vulnerabilities of the functions lzma.LZMADecompressor(), bz2.BZ2Decompressor(), and gzip.GzipFile() in the Python programming language (CPython) allow a malicious actor to trigger a service denial.

The vulnerability of the bytes.decode function in the CPython interpreter relates to the use of memory after it is freed. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to cause a service failure...

OESA-2026-2116 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...

python: Python: Arbitrary code execution or information disclosure via use-after-free in decompression modules

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...

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...

Out-of-bounds Write

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write in the ReadCLen function of the Tiano decompressor. An attacker can cause a crash by supplying specially crafted compressed firmware data that triggers a heap out-of-bounds write during decompression. Remediation...

UEFI Firmware Parser has a heap out-of-bounds write in tiano decompressor ReadCLen

uefi-firmware contains a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the native tiano/EFI decompressor. in uefifirmware/compression/Tiano/Decompress.c, ReadCLen reads Number = GetBitsSd, CBIT with CBIT = 9, so Number can be as large as 511, while the destination array Sd-mCLen has NC = 510 elements...

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...
