An update that solves one vulnerability, contains one
feature and has one errata is now available.

Description:

This update for python39 fixes the following issues:

- CVE-2015-20107: avoid command injection in the mailcap module (bsc#1198511).

- Update to 3.9.13:
- Core and Builtins
- gh-92311: Fixed a bug where setting frame.f_lineno to jump over a list comprehension could misbehave or crash. - gh-92112: Fix crash triggered by an evil custom mro() on a metaclass.
- gh-92036: Fix a crash in subinterpreters related to the garbage collector. When a subinterpreter is deleted, untrack all objects tracked by its GC. To prevent a crash in deallocator functions expecting objects to be tracked by the GC, leak a strong reference to these objects on purpose, so they are never deleted and their deallocator functions are not called. Patch by Victor Stinner. - gh-91421: Fix a potential integer overflow in _Py_DecodeUTF8Ex. - bpo-46775: Some Windows system error codes(>= 10000) are now mappedinto the correct errno and may now raise a subclass of OSError. Patch by Dong-hee Na.
- bpo-46962: Classes and functions that unconditionally declared their
docstrings ignoring the
--without-doc-strings compilation flag no longer do so. - The classes affected are pickle.PickleBuffer,
testcapi.RecursingInfinitelyError, and types.GenericAlias. - The functions affected are 24 methods in ctypes.
- Patch by Oleg Iarygin.
- bpo-36819: Fix crashes in built-in encoders with error handlers that
return position less or equal than the starting position of non-encodable characters.
- Library
- gh-91581: utcfromtimestamp() no longer attempts to resolve fold in the pure Python implementation, since the fold is never 1 in UTC. In
addition to being slightly faster in the common case, this also prevents some errors when the timestamp is close to datetime.min. Patch by Paul Ganssle.
- gh-92530: Fix an issue that occurred after interrupting threading.Condition.notify().
- gh-92049: Forbid pickling constants re._constants.SUCCESS etc. Previously, pickling did not fail, but the result could not be unpickled.
- bpo-47029: Always close the read end of the pipe used by multiprocessing.Queue after the last write of buffered data to the write end of the pipe to avoid BrokenPipeError at garbage collection
and at multiprocessing.Queue.close() calls. Patch by G??ry Ogam. - gh-91910: Add missing f prefix to f-strings in error messages from the multiprocessing and asyncio modules.
- gh-91810: ElementTree method write() and function tostring() now use
the text file''s encoding ("UTF-8" if not available) instead of locale encoding in XML declaration when encoding="unicode" is specified.
- gh-91832: Add required attribute to argparse.Action repr output.
- gh-91734: Fix OSS audio support on Solaris.
- gh-91700: Compilation of regular expression containing a conditional
expression (?(group)...) now raises an appropriate re.error if the group number refers to not defined group. Previously an internal RuntimeError was raised.
- gh-91676: Fix unittest.IsolatedAsyncioTestCase to shutdown the per test event loop executor before returning from its run method so that a not yet stopped or garbage collected executor state does notpersist beyond the test.
- gh-90568: Parsing \N escapes of Unicode Named Character Sequences in
a regular expression raises now re.error instead of TypeError. - gh-91595: Fix the comparison of character and integer inside Tools.gdb.libpython.write_repr(). Patch by Yu Liu. - gh-90622: Worker processes for
concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor are no longer spawned on demand (a feature added in 3.9) when the multiprocessing context start method is "fork" as that can lead to deadlocks in the child processes due to a fork happening while threads are running. - gh-91575: Update case-insensitive matching in the re module to the latest Unicode version.
- gh-91581: Remove an unhandled error case in the C implementation ofcalls to datetime.fromtimestamp with no time zone (i.e. getting a local time from an epoch timestamp). This should have no user-facing
effect other than giving a possibly more accurate error message when
called with timestamps that fall on 10000-01-01 in the local time. Patch by Paul Ganssle.
- bpo-34480: Fix a bug where _markupbase raised an UnboundLocalError when an invalid keyword was found in marked section. Patch by MarekSuscak.
- bpo-27929: Fix asyncio.loop.sock_connect() to only resolve names for
socket.AF_INET or socket.AF_INET6 families. Resolution may not makesense for other families, like socket.AF_BLUETOOTH and socket.AF_UNIX.
- bpo-43323: Fix errors in the email module if the charset itself contains undecodable/unencodable characters.
- bpo-46787: Fix concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor exception memory leak
- bpo-46415: Fix ipaddress.ip_{address,interface,network} raising TypeError instead of ValueError if given invalid tuple as address parameter.
- bpo-44911: IsolatedAsyncioTestCase will no longer throw an exception
while cancelling leaked tasks. Patch by Bar Harel. - bpo-44493: Add missing terminated NUL in sockaddr_un's length - This was potentially observable when using non-abstract AF_UNIX datagram sockets to processes written in another programming language.
- bpo-42627: Fix incorrect parsing of Windows registry proxy settings- bpo-36073: Raise ProgrammingError instead of segfaulting on recursive usage of cursors in sqlite3 converters. Patch by Sergey Fedoseev.
- Documentation
- gh-91888: Add a new gh role to the documentation to link to GitHub issues.
- gh-91783: Document security issues concerning the use of the function shutil.unpack_archive()
- gh-91547: Remove "Undocumented modules" page.
- bpo-44347: Clarify the meaning of dirs_exist_ok, a kwarg of shutil.copytree().
- bpo-38668: Update the introduction to documentation for os.path to remove warnings that became irrelevant after the implementations of PEP 383 and PEP 529.
- bpo-47138: Pin Jinja to a version compatible with Sphinx version 2.4.4.
- bpo-46962: All docstrings in code snippets are now wrapped into PyDoc_STR() to follow the guideline of PEP 7's Documentation Strings
paragraph. Patch by Oleg Iarygin.
- bpo-26792: Improve the docstrings of runpy.run_module() and runpy.run_path(). Original patch by Andrew Brezovsky. - bpo-45790: Adjust inaccurate phrasing in Defining Extension Types: Tutorial about the ob_base field and the macros used to access its contents.
- bpo-42340: Document that in some circumstances KeyboardInterrupt may
cause the code to enter an inconsistent state. Provided a sample workaround to avoid it if needed.
- bpo-41233: Link the errnos referenced in Doc/library/exceptions.rstto their respective section in Doc/library/errno.rst, and vice versa. Previously this was
only done for EINTR and InterruptedError. Patch by Yan "yyyyyyyan" Orestes.
- bpo-38056: Overhaul the Error Handlers documentation in codecs. - bpo-13553: Document tkinter.Tk args.
- Tests
- gh-91607: Fix test_concurrent_futures to test the correct multiprocessing start method context in several cases where the test
logic mixed this up.
- bpo-47205: Skip test for sched_getaffinity() and sched_setaffinity()
error case on FreeBSD.
- bpo-29890: Add tests for ipaddress.IPv4Interface and ipaddress.IPv6Interface construction with tuple arguments. Originalpatch and tests by louisom.

PGO build.
- Windows
- bpo-47194: Update zlib to v1.2.12 to resolve CVE-2018-25032. - bpo-46785: Fix race condition between os.stat() and unlinking a file

- bpo-38256: Fix binascii.crc32() when it is compiled to use zlib'c crc32 to work properly on inputs 4+GiB in length instead of returningthe wrong result. The workaround prior to this was to always feed thefunction data in increments smaller than 4GiB or to just call the zlib
module function.
- bpo-39394: A warning about inline flags not at the start of the regular expression now contains the position of the flag. - bpo-47061: Deprecate the various modules listed by PEP 594: - aifc, asynchat, asyncore, audioop, cgi, cgitb, chunk, crypt, imghdr, msilib, nntplib, nis, ossaudiodev, pipes, smtpd, sndhdr, spwd, sunau,telnetlib, uu, xdrlib

updated to note they will removed in Python 3.12 (PEP 594). - bpo-46421: Fix a unittest issue where if the command was invoked as python -m unittest and the filename(s) began with a dot (.), a ValueError is returned.
- bpo-40296: Fix supporting generic aliases in pydoc.
- bpo-14156: argparse.FileType now supports an argument of '-'; in binary mode, returning the .buffer attribute of sys.stdin/sys.stdout as appropriate. Modes including 'x' and 'a' are treated equivalently to 'w' when argument is '-'. Patch contributed by Josh Rosenberg - Update to 3.9.11:
- bpo-46852: Rename the private undocumented float.__set_format__() method to float.__setformat__() to fix a typo introduced in Python 3.7. The method is only used by test_float. Patch by Victor Stinner. - bpo-46794: Bump up the libexpat version into 2.4.6
- bpo-46762: Fix an assert failure in debug builds when a '', or '=' is the last character in an f-string that's missing a closing right brace.

strong references to the resulting items from the set. This prevents crashes in corner-cases of various set operations where the set gets mutated.
- bpo-43721: Fix docstrings of getter, setter, and deleter to clarify that they create a new copy of the property.
- bpo-46503: Fix an assert when parsing some invalid N escape sequencesin f-strings.

when running from the guest operating-system.
- bpo-46756: Fix a bug in
urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgr.find_user_password() and urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth.is_authenticated() which allowed to bypass authorization. For example, access to URI example.org/foobar was allowed if the user was authorized for URI example.org/foo.
- bpo-45863: When the tarfile module creates a pax format archive, it will put an integer representation of timestamps in the ustar header (if possible) for the benefit of older unarchivers, in addition to the
existing full-precision timestamps in the pax extended header. - bpo-46672: Fix NameError in asyncio.gather() when initial type check fails.
- bpo-45948: Fixed a discrepancy in the C implementation of the xml.etree.ElementTree module. Now, instantiating an
xml.etree.ElementTree.XMLParser with a target=None keyword provides adefault xml.etree.ElementTree.TreeBuilder target as the Python implementation does.
- bpo-46591: Make the IDLE doc URL on the About IDLE dialog clickable. - bpo-46400: expat: Update libexpat from 2.4.1 to 2.4.4 - bpo-46487: Add the get_write_buffer_limits method to asyncio.transports.WriteTransport and to the SSL transport. - bpo-46539: In typing.get_type_hints(), support evaluating stringifiedClassVar and Final annotations inside Annotated.

Forward references from different modules are now differentiated. - bpo-43118: Fix a bug in inspect.signature() that was causing it to fail on some subclasses of classes with a __text_signature__ referencing module globals. Patch by Weipeng Hong.
- bpo-21987: Fix an issue with tarfile.TarFile.getmember() getting a directory name with a trailing slash.
- bpo-20392: Fix inconsistency with uppercase file extensions in MimeTypes.guess_type(). Patch by Kumar Aditya.
