Comment 2 Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2023-08-31 08:24:37 UTC
This is not a security threat. It should be fixed upstream and get to Fedora in the next releases, as any other minor bug.


The Python Software Foundation is now a CVE Number Authority. Hopefully, only *actual* security issues will get scary-looking CVE numbers from now on.
