USN-5931-1: Python vulnerability
7 March 2023
Several security issues were fixed in Python.
Releases
Packages
- python3.8 - An interactive high-level object-oriented language
Details
It was discovered that Python incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a
user or an automated system were tricked into running a specially
crafted input, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-37454)
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 18.04
-
python3.8-minimal
-
3.8.0-3ubuntu1~18.04.2+esm1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
-
python3.8
-
3.8.0-3ubuntu1~18.04.2+esm1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
