An update that solves five vulnerabilities and has two security fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for python39 fixes the following issues:

python39 was updated from version 3.9.21 to version 3.9.23:

• Security issues fixed:

• CVE-2025-4516: Fixed blocking DecodeError handling vulnerability, which could lead to DoS (bsc#1243273)

• CVE-2024-12718, CVE-2025-4138, CVE-2025-4330, CVE-2025-4517: Fixed multiple issues that allowed tarfile extraction filters to be bypassed using crafted symlinks and hard links (bsc#1244056, bsc#1244059, bsc#1244060, bsc#1244032)

• Other changes and bugs fixed:

• Fixed issue with reproducible builds (bsc#1239210)

• Fixed a potential denial of service vulnerability in the imaplib module.
• Fixed bugs in the in the folding of rfc2047 encoded-words and in the folding of quoted strings when flattening an email message using a modern email policy.
• Fixed parsing long IPv6 addresses with embedded IPv4 address.
• Fixed ipaddress.IPv6Address.reverse_pointer output according to RFC 3596, §2.5.
• Improved the textual representation of IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses in ipaddress.
• ipaddress: fixed hash collisions for IPv4Network and IPv6Network objects
• os.path.realpath() now accepts a strict keyword-only argument.
• Stop the processing of long IPv6 addresses early in ipaddress to prevent excessive memory consumption and a minor denial-of-service.
• Updated bundled libexpat to 2.7.1
• Writers of CPython’s documentation can now use next as the version for the versionchanged, versionadded, deprecated directives.
