SUSE-SU-2026:20125-1

This update for python313 fixes the following issues:

• Update to 3.13.11:

• Security

  • CVE-2025-12084: cpython: Fixed quadratic algorithm in xml.dom.minidom leading to denial of service (bsc#1254997)
  • CVE-2025-13836: Fixed default Content-Lenght read amount from HTTP response (bsc#1254400)
  • CVE-2025-13837: Fixed plistlib module denial of service (bsc#1254401)
  • CVE-2025-8291: Fixed validity of the ZIP64 End of Central Directory (EOCD) not checked by the 'zipfile' module (bsc#1251305)
  • gh-137836: Add support of the “plaintext” element, RAWTEXT elements “xmp”, “iframe”, “noembed” and “noframes”, and optionally RAWTEXT element “noscript” in html.parser.HTMLParser.
  • gh-136063: email.message: ensure linear complexity for legacy HTTP parameters parsing. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.
  • CVE-2025-6075: Fixed performance issues caused by user-controller os.path.expandvars() (bsc#1252974)
• Library
  • gh-140797: Revert changes to the undocumented re.Scanner class. Capturing groups are still allowed for backward compatibility, although using them can lead to incorrect result. They will be forbidden in future Python versions.
  • gh-142206: The resource tracker in the multiprocessing module now uses the original communication protocol, as in Python 3.14.0 and below, by default. This avoids issues with upgrading Python while it is running. (Note that such ‘in-place’ upgrades are not tested.) The tracker remains compatible with subprocesses that use new protocol (that is, subprocesses using Python 3.13.10, 3.14.1 and 3.15).

• Core and Builtins

  • gh-142218: Fix crash when inserting into a split table dictionary with a non str key that matches an existing key.

• Update to 3.13.10:

• Tools/Demos

  • gh-141442: The iOS testbed now correctly handles test arguments that contain spaces.
• Tests
  • gh-140482: Preserve and restore the state of stty echo as part of the test environment.
  • gh-140082: Update python -m test to set FORCE_COLOR=1 when being run with color enabled so that unittest which is run by it with redirected output will output in color.
  • gh-136442: Use exitcode 1 instead of 5 if unittest.TestCase.setUpClass() raises an exception
• Library
  • gh-74389: When the stdin being used by a subprocess.Popen instance is closed, this is now ignored in subprocess.Popen.communicate() instead of leaving the class in an inconsistent state.
  • gh-87512: Fix subprocess.Popen.communicate() timeout handling on Windows when writing large input. Previously, the timeout was ignored during stdin writing, causing the method to block indefinitely if the child process did not consume input quickly. The stdin write is now performed in a background thread, allowing the timeout to be properly enforced.
  • gh-141473: When subprocess.Popen.communicate() was called with input and a timeout and is called for a second time after a TimeoutExpired exception before the process has died, it should no longer hang.
  • gh-59000: Fix pdb breakpoint resolution for class methods when the module defining the class is not imported.
  • gh-141570: Support file-like object raising OSError from fileno() in color detection (colorize.cancolorize()). This can occur when sys.stdout is redirected.
  • gh-141659: Fix bad file descriptor errors from posixsubprocess on AIX.
  • gh-141497: ipaddress: ensure that the methods IPv4Network.hosts() and IPv6Network.hosts() always return an iterator.
  • gh-140938: The statistics.stdev() and statistics.pstdev() functions now raise a ValueError when the input contains an infinity or a NaN.
  • gh-124111: Updated Tcl threading configuration in tkinter to assume that threads are always available in Tcl 9 and later.
  • gh-137109: The os.fork and related forking APIs will no longer warn in the common case where Linux or macOS platform APIs return the number of threads in a process and find the answer to be 1 even when a os.registeratfork() afterinparent= callback (re)starts a thread.
  • gh-141314: Fix assertion failure in io.TextIOWrapper.tell() when reading files with standalone carriage return (\r) line endings.
  • gh-141311: Fix assertion failure in io.BytesIO.readinto() and undefined behavior arising when read position is above capcity in io.BytesIO.
  • gh-141141: Fix a thread safety issue with base64.b85decode(). Contributed by Benel Tayar.
  • gh-140911: collections: Ensure that the methods UserString.rindex() and UserString.index() accept collections.UserString instances as the sub argument.
  • gh-140797: The undocumented re.Scanner class now forbids regular expressions containing capturing groups in its lexicon patterns. Patterns using capturing groups could previously lead to crashes with segmentation fault. Use non-capturing groups (?:…) instead.
  • gh-140815: faulthandler now detects if a frame or a code object is invalid or freed. Patch by Victor Stinner.
  • gh-100218: Correctly set errno when socket.ifnametoindex() or socket.ifindextoname() raise an OSError. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.

  • gh-139391: Fix an issue when, on non-Windows platforms, it was not possible to gracefully exit a python -m asyncio process suspended by Ctrl+Z and later resumed by fg other than with kill.
  • gh-101828: Fix 'shiftjisx0213', 'shiftjis2004', 'eucjisx0213' and 'eucjis2004' codecs truncating null chars as they were treated as part of multi-character sequences.
  • gh-139246: fix: paste zero-width in default repl width is wrong.
  • gh-90949: Add SetAllocTrackerActivationThreshold() and SetAllocTrackerMaximumAmplification() to xmlparser objects to prevent use of disproportional amounts of dynamic memory from within an Expat parser. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.

    • gh-137576: Fix for incorrect source code being shown in tracebacks from the Basic REPL when PYTHONSTARTUP is given. Patch by Adam Hartz.
    • gh-132744: Certain calls now check for runaway recursion and respect the system recursion limit.
  • C API
    • gh-87135: Attempting to acquire the GIL after runtime finalization has begun in a different thread now causes the thread to hang rather than terminate, which avoids potential crashes or memory corruption caused by attempting to terminate a thread that is running code not specifically designed to support termination. In most cases this hanging is harmless since the process will soon exit anyway. While not officially marked deprecated until 3.14, PyThreadexitthread is no longer called internally and remains solely for interface compatibility. Its behavior is inconsistent across platforms, and it can only be used safely in the unlikely case that every function in the entire call stack has been designed to support the platform-dependent termination mechanism. It is recommended that users of this function change their design to not require thread termination. In the unlikely case that thread termination is needed and can be done safely, users may migrate to calling platform-specific APIs such as pthread_exit (POSIX) or _endthreadex (Windows) directly.
  • Build
    • gh-135734: Python can correctly be configured and built with ./configure --enable-optimizations --disable-test-modules. Previously, the profile data generation step failed due to PGO tests where immortalization couldn’t be properly suppressed.

    • gh-137314: Fixed a regression where raw f-strings incorrectly interpreted escape sequences in format specifications. Raw f-strings now properly preserve literal backslashes in format specs, matching the behavior from Python 3.11. For example, rf"{obj:\xFF}" now correctly produces '\xFF' instead of 'ÿ'. Patch by Pablo Galindo.

    • gh-135815: netrc: skip security checks if os.getuid() is missing. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.
    • gh-135640: Address bug where it was possible to call xml.etree.ElementTree.ElementTree.write() on an ElementTree object with an invalid root element. This behavior blanked the file passed to write if it already existed.
    • gh-135444: Fix asyncio.DatagramTransport.sendto() to account for datagram header size when data cannot be sent.
    • gh-135497: Fix os.getlogin() failing for longer usernames on BSD-based platforms.

    • gh-135335: multiprocessing: Flush stdout and stderr after preloading modules in the forkserver.
    • gh-135244: uuid: when the MAC address cannot be determined, the 48-bit node ID is now generated with a cryptographically-secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) as per RFC 9562, §6.10.3. This affects uuid1().
    • gh-135069: Fix the “Invalid error handling” exception in encodings.idna.IncrementalDecoder to correctly replace the ‘errors’ parameter.
    • gh-134698: Fix a crash when calling methods of ssl.SSLContext or ssl.SSLSocket across multiple threads.
    • gh-132124: On POSIX-compliant systems, multiprocessing.util.gettempdir() now ignores TMPDIR (and similar environment variables) if the path length of AFUNIX socket files exceeds the platform-specific maximum length when using the forkserver start method. Patch by Bénédikt Tran.
    • gh-133439: Fix dot commands with trailing spaces are mistaken for multi-line SQL statements in the sqlite3 command-line interface.
    • gh-132969: Prevent the ProcessPoolExecutor executor thread, which remains running when shutdown(wait=False), from attempting to adjust the pool’s worker processes after the object state has already been reset during shutdown. A combination of conditions, including a worker process having terminated abormally, resulted in an exception and a potential hang when the still-running executor thread attempted to replace dead workers within the pool.
    • gh-130664: Support the '' digit separator in formatting of the integral part of Decimal’s. Patch by Sergey B Kirpichev.
    • gh-85702: If zoneinfo.common.loadtzdata is given a package without a resource a ZoneInfoNotFoundError is raised rather than a IsADirectoryError.
    • gh-130664: Handle corner-case for Fraction’s formatting: treat zero-padding (preceding the width field by a zero ('0') character) as an equivalent to a fill character of '0' with an alignment type of '=', just as in case of float’s.
