USN-8018-1 fixed CVE-2025-12084 , CVE-2025-15282 , CVE-2026-0672 , CVE-2026-0865 for python3. This update provides the corresponding updates for python2.7. Original advisory details: Denis Ledoux discovered that Python incorrectly parsed email message headers. An attacker could possibly use this issue to inject arbitrary headers into email messages. This issue only affected python3.6, python3.7, python3.8, python3.9, python3.10, python3.11, python3.12, python3.13, and python3.14 packages. ( CVE-2025-11468 ) Jacob Walls, Shai Berger, and Natalia Bidart discovered that Python inefficiently parsed XML input with quadratic complexity. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (
