- gh-115398: Allow controlling Expat >=2.6.0 reparse deferral
(CVE-2023-52425) by adding five new methods:
xml.etree.ElementTree.XMLParser.flush()
xml.etree.ElementTree.XMLPullParser.flush()
xml.parsers.expat.xmlparser.GetReparseDeferralEnabled()
xml.parsers.expat.xmlparser.SetReparseDeferralEnabled()
xml.sax.expatreader.ExpatParser.flush()

or hidden file attribute.

- gh-102388: Fix a bug where iso2022_jp_3 and iso2022_jp_2004
codecs read out of bounds

- gh-115197: urllib.request no longer resolves the hostname
before checking it against the system’s proxy bypass list
on macOS and Windows.
- gh-115133: Fix tests for XMLPullParser with Expat 2.6.0.
- gh-81194: Fix a crash in socket.if_indextoname() with
specific value (UINT_MAX). Fix an integer overflow in
socket.if_indextoname() on 64-bit non-Windows platforms.
- gh-109858: Protect zipfile from “quoted-overlap”
zipbomb. It now raises BadZipFile when try to read an entry
that overlaps with other entry or central directory.
- gh-107077: Seems that in some conditions, OpenSSL will
return SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL instead of SSL_ERROR_SSL
when a certification verification has failed, but
the error parameters will still contain ERR_LIB_SSL

Core and Builtins
bpo-46794: Bump up the libexpat version into 2.4.6
bpo-46985: Upgrade pip wheel bundled with ensurepip (pip 22.0.4)
bpo-46932: Update bundled libexpat to 2.4.7
bpo-46811: Make test suite support Expat >=2.4.5
bpo-46784: Fix libexpat symbols collisions with user
dynamically loaded or statically linked libexpat in embedded
Python.
bpo-46400: expat: Update libexpat from 2.4.1 to 2.4.4
bpo-46474: In importlib.metadata.EntryPoint.pattern, avoid
potential REDoS by limiting ambiguity in consecutive
whitespace.
bpo-44849: Fix the os.set_inheritable() function on FreeBSD
14 for file descriptor opened with the O_PATH flag: ignore
the EBADF error on ioctl(), fallback on the fcntl()
implementation.
bpo-41028: Language and version switchers, previously
maintained in every cpython branches, are now handled by
docsbuild-script.
bpo-45195: Fix test_readline.test_nonascii(): sometimes, the
newline character is not written at the end, so don’t
expect it in the output.
bpo-44949: Fix auto history tests of test_readline:
sometimes, the newline character is not written at the end,
so don’t expect it in the output.

configure with recent versions of clang.

- Security
- bpo-43434: Creating a sqlite3.Connection object now also
produces a sqlite3.connect auditing event. Previously this
event was only produced by sqlite3.connect() calls. Patch
by Erlend E. Aasland.
- bpo-43472: Ensures interpreter-level audit hooks receive
the cpython.PyInterpreterState_New event when called
through the _xxsubinterpreters module.
- bpo-43075: Fix Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)
vulnerability in urllib.request.AbstractBasicAuthHandler.
The ReDoS-vulnerable regex has quadratic worst-case
complexity and it allows cause a denial of service when
identifying crafted invalid RFCs. This ReDoS issue is on
the client side and needs remote attackers to control the
HTTP server.
- Core and Builtins
- bpo-43105: Importlib now resolves relative paths when
creating module spec objects from file locations.
- bpo-42924: Fix bytearray repetition incorrectly copying
data from the start of the buffer, even if the data is
offset within the buffer (e.g. after reassigning a slice at
the start of the bytearray to a shorter byte string).
- Library
- bpo-43993: Update bundled pip to 21.1.1.
- bpo-43937: Fixed the turtle module working with non-default
root window.
- bpo-43930: Update bundled pip to 21.1 and setuptools to
56.0.0
- bpo-43920: OpenSSL 3.0.0: load_verify_locations() now

- bpo#42988 (bsc#1183374) CVE-2021-3426: Remove the getfile
feature of the pydoc module which could be abused to read
arbitrary files on the disk (directory traversal
vulnerability). Moreover, even source code of Python modules
can contain sensitive data like passwords. Vulnerability
reported by David Schwörer.
- bpo-43285: ftplib no longer trusts the IP address value
returned from the server in response to the PASV command by
default. This prevents a malicious FTP server from using the
response to probe IPv4 address and port combinations on the
client network.
- Code that requires the former vulnerable behavior may set
a trust_server_pasv_ipv4_address attribute on their
ftplib.FTP instances to True to re-enable it.
- bpo-43439: Add audit hooks for gc.get_objects(),
gc.get_referrers() and gc.get_referents(). Patch by Pablo
Galindo.
- bpo-43660: Fix crash that happens when replacing sys.stderr
with a callable that can remove the object while an exception
is being printed. Patch by Pablo Galindo.
- bpo-35883: Python no longer fails at startup with a fatal
error if a command line argument contains an invalid Unicode
character. The Py_DecodeLocale() function now escapes byte
sequences which would be decoded as Unicode characters
outside the [U+0000; U+10ffff] range.
- bpo-43406: Fix a possible race condition where
PyErr_CheckSignals tries to execute a non-Python signal
handler.
- bpo-35930: Raising an exception raised in a “future” instance
