NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3.12-tkinter package and not the python3.12-tkinter package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The fix for CVE-2026-0672, which rejected control characters in http.cookies.Morsel, was incomplete. The Morsel.update(), |= operator, and unpickling paths were not patched, allowing control characters to bypass input validation. Additionally, BaseCookie.js_output() lacked the output validation applied to BaseCookie.output().
