CVE-2026-2297  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-778  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 tkinter.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tkinter package and not the tkinter package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The import hook in CPython that handles legacy *.pyc files (SourcelessFileLoader) is incorrectly handled in FileLoader (a base class) and so does not use io.open_code() to read the .pyc files. sys.audit handlers for this audit event therefore do not fire.
