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...

CVE-2026-6100 Use-after-free in lzma.LZMADecompressor, bz2.BZ2Decompressor, and gzip.GzipFile after re-use under memory pressure

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...
