[SECURITY] Fedora 40 Update: python3-docs-3.12.6-1.fc40


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2024-1d0cb3b43f
2024-09-14 01:57:36.689592
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name : python3-docs
Product : Fedora 40
Version : 3.12.6
Release : 1.fc40
URL : https://www.python.org/
Summary : Documentation for the Python 3 programming language
Description :
The python3-docs package contains documentation on the Python 3
programming language and interpreter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This is the sixth maintenance release of Python 3.12
Python 3.12 is the newest major release of the Python programming language, and
it contains many new features and optimizations. 3.12.6 is the latest
maintenance release, containing about 90 bugfixes, build improvements and
documentation changes since 3.12.5. This is an expedited release to address the
following security issues:
gh-123067: Fix quadratic complexity in parsing "-quoted cookie values with
backslashes by http.cookies. Fixes CVE-2024-7592.
gh-121285: Remove backtracking from tarfile header parsing for hdrcharset, PAX,
and GNU sparse headers. That's CVE-2024-6232.
gh-102988: email.utils.getaddresses() and 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: Sanitize names in zipfile.Path to avoid infinite loops (gh-122905)
without breaking contents using legitimate characters. That's CVE-2024-8088.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Mon Sep 9 2024 Tomáš Hrnčiar - 3.12.6-1

parser discovers the associated structures in the document being parsed. A
start tag is an example of the kind of structures for which you may
register handlers.
