python3-3.6.8-21.0.3.el7.AXS7

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language
often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java. Python 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 (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac and MFC). Programmers can write new
built-in modules for Python in C or C++. Python can be used as an extension
language for applications that need a programmable interface. This package
contains most of the standard Python modules, as well as modules for interfacing
to the Tix widget set for Tk and RPM. Note that documentation for Python is
provided in the python-docs package.

Security Fix(es):
- CVE-2024-9287: fix path names quoting to prevent command injection in virtual
environment activation scripts

CVE(s):
CVE-2024-9287
A vulnerability has been found in the CPython `venv` module and CLI where path names provided when creating a virtual environment were not quoted properly, allowing the creator to inject commands into virtual environment "activation" scripts (ie "source venv/bin/activate"). This means that attacker-controlled virtual environments are able to run commands when the virtual environment is activated. Virtual environments which are not created by an attacker or which aren't activated before being used (ie "./venv/bin/python") are not affected.
