Package : python3.9 Version : 3.9.2-1+deb11u3 CVE ID : CVE-2022-0391 CVE-2025-0938 CVE-2025-1795
Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in modules shipped with cpython 3.9, the primary interpreter for the Python programming language.
CVE-2022-0391
Functions in the urllib.parse module did not sanitize URLs to remove newline characters, which could lead to injection attacks.
CVE-2025-0938
Functions in the urllib.parse and urlparse modules accepted domain names containing square brackets, which isn't valid. These delimiters are only permitted for IPv6 and IPvFuture hosts. This problem could result in differential parsing between the Python URL parser and other specification-compliant URL parsers.
CVE-2025-1795
The implementations of e-mail header parsing and folding would encode the comma used to separate list items, which could cause receiving applications to interpret two items in the list as though they were one item.
For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 3.9.2-1+deb11u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your python3.9 packages.
