Red Hat Security Advisory: python3.14 security update
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language, which includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems. Security Fix(es): * cpython: wsgiref.headers.Headers allows header newline injection in Python (CVE-2026-0865) * cpython: CPython: Logging Bypass in Legacy .pyc File Handling (CVE-2026-2297) * cpython: Incomplete control character validation in http.cookies (CVE-2026-3644) * cpython: Stack overflow parsing XML with deeply nested DTD content models (CVE-2026-4224) * python: Python: Command-line option injection in webbrowser.open() via crafted URLs (CVE-2026-4519) * python: Python: HTTP header injection via CR/LF in proxy tunnel headers (CVE-2026-1502) * python: Python: Arbitrary code execution or information disclosure via use-after-free in decompression modules (CVE-2026-6100) * python: cpython: Python: Arbitrary code execution via command injection in webbrowser.open() API (CVE-2026-4786) * python: Python: Information disclosure and arbitrary code execution via remote debugging with a malicious process. (CVE-2026-5713) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Technical Summary
This Red Hat security advisory (RHSA-2026:19176) addresses nine vulnerabilities in python3.14 affecting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and related products. The vulnerabilities include header newline injection (CVE-2026-0865), logging bypass in legacy .pyc handling (CVE-2026-2297), incomplete control character validation in http.cookies (CVE-2026-3644), stack overflow in XML parsing (CVE-2026-4224), command-line option injection via webbrowser.open() (CVE-2026-4519), HTTP header injection in proxy tunnel headers (CVE-2026-1502), use-after-free leading to arbitrary code execution or information disclosure in decompression modules (CVE-2026-6100), arbitrary code execution via command injection in webbrowser.open() API (CVE-2026-4786), and information disclosure and arbitrary code execution via remote debugging (CVE-2026-5713). Red Hat has released updated python3.14 packages to remediate these issues.
Potential Impact
The vulnerabilities collectively allow for potential header injection, logging bypass, stack overflow, command injection, arbitrary code execution, and information disclosure within Python applications running on affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 systems. These issues could be exploited to execute arbitrary code, bypass security controls, or disclose sensitive information. However, there are no known exploits in the wild at this time. The security impact is rated as Important by Red Hat.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released updated python3.14 packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and related variants that address these vulnerabilities. Users should apply the official security update as described in the Red Hat advisory RHSA-2026:19176 and the referenced article https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 to remediate these issues. Since this is an official fix, applying the update is the recommended mitigation. No additional vendor guidance indicates that other actions are required.
