CVE-2026-1299 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Centos security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Centos:7.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-tools package and not the python-tools package as distributed by Centos.
The email module, specifically the "BytesGenerator" class, didn’t properly quote newlines for email headers when serializing an email message allowing for header injection when an email is serialized. This is only applicable if using "LiteralHeader" writing headers that don't respect email folding rules, the new behavior will reject the incorrectly folded headers in "BytesGenerator".
