Description Jon Moroney 2026-07-09 20:10:20 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

The incremental HTML parser (html.parser.HTMLParser) allows for CPU
denial-of-service through repeated unterminated markup declarations when
processing uncontrolled data.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle.
Changing version to 45.

c9s fix is https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/python3.9/-/commit/0ad244b12d3adcc81d14e6c9dc974351dc77d2a4 -- we need to forwardport it
