NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3.12-libs package and not the python3.12-libs package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

There is a HIGH severity vulnerability affecting the CPython "zipfile" module affecting "zipfile.Path". Note that the more common API "zipfile.ZipFile" class is unaffected.

When iterating over names of entries in a zip archive (for example, methods of "zipfile.Path" like "namelist()", "iterdir()", etc) the process can be put into an infinite loop with a maliciously crafted zip archive. This defect applies when reading only metadata or extracting the contents of the zip archive. Programs that are not handling user-controlled zip archives are not affected.
