- python -m http.server no longer allows terminal
control characters sent within a garbage request to be
printed to the stderr server lo This is done by changing
the http.server BaseHTTPRequestHandler .log_message method
to replace control characters with a \xHH hex escape before
printin
- Avoid publishing list of active per-interpreter
audit hooks via the gc module
- The IDNA codec decoder used on DNS hostnames by
socket or asyncio related name resolution functions no
longer involves a quadratic algorithm. This prevents a
potential CPU denial of service if an out-of-spec excessive
length hostname involving bidirectional characters were
decoded. Some protocols such as urllib http 3xx redirects
potentially allow for an attacker to supply such a name.
- Update bundled libexpat to 2.5.0
- Port XKCP’s fix for the buffer overflows in SHA-3
(CVE-2022-37454).
- On Linux the multiprocessing module returns
to using filesystem backed unix domain sockets for
communication with the forkserver process instead of the
Linux abstract socket namespace. Only code that chooses
to use the “forkserver” start method is affected Abstract
sockets have no permissions and could allow any user
on the system in the same network namespace (often the
whole system) to inject code into the multiprocessing
forkserver process. This was a potential privilege
escalation. Filesystem based socket permissions restrict
this to the forkserver process user as was the default in

Python 3 in SUSE
==============
* Subpackages *
Python 3 is split into several subpackages, based on external dependencies.
The main package 'python3' has soft dependencies on all subpackages needed to
assemble the standard library; however, these might not all be installed by default.
If you attempt to import a module that is currently not installed, an ImportError is thrown,
with instructions to install the missing subpackage. Installing the subpackage might result
in installing libraries that the subpackage requires to function.
* ensurepip *
The 'ensurepip' module from Python 3 standard library (PEP 453) is supposed to deploy
a bundled copy of the pip installer. This makes no sense in a managed distribution like SUSE.
Instead, you need to install package 'python3-pip'. Usually this will be installed automatically
with 'python3'.
Using 'ensurepip' when pip is not installed will result in an ImportError with instructions
to install 'python3-pip'.
* Documentation *
You can find documentation in seprarate packages: python3-doc and
python3-doc-pdf. These contan following documents:
Tutorial, What's New in Python, Global Module Index, Library Reference,
Macintosh Module Reference, Installing Python Modules, Distributing Python
Modules, Language Reference, Extending and Embedding, Python/C API,
Documenting Python
The python3-doc package constains many text files from source tarball.
* Interactive mode *
Interactive mode is by default enhanced with of history and command completion.
If you don't like these features, you can unset the PYTHONSTARTUP variable
in your .profile or disable it system wide in /etc/profile.d/python.sh.
