Details

Yebo Cao discovered that Python incorrectly handled certain URLs.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass blocklisting
methods by supplying a URL that starts with blank characters.

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 22.10

• python3.10 - 3.10.7-1ubuntu0.3

Ubuntu 22.04

• python3.10 - 3.10.6-1~22.04.2ubuntu1

Ubuntu 20.04

• python3.8 - 3.8.10-0ubuntu1~20.04.7

Ubuntu 18.04

• python2.7 - 2.7.17-1~18.04ubuntu1.11
• python3.6 - 3.6.9-1~18.04ubuntu1.12

Ubuntu 16.04

• python2.7 - 2.7.12-1ubuntu0~16.04.18+esm4
  Available with Ubuntu Pro
• python3.5 - 3.5.2-2ubuntu0~16.04.13+esm7
  Available with Ubuntu Pro
