How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Minimos:latest python-3.12-base-dev.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-3.12-base-dev package and not the python-3.12-base-dev package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

DISPUTED: The project has clarified that the documentation was incorrect, and that pkgutil.get_data() has the same security model as open(). The documentation has been updated to clarify this point. There is no vulnerability in the function if following the intended security model.

pkgutil.get_data() did not validate the resource argument as documented, allowing path traversals.
