Synopsis:

python-urllib3 security updateSummary:

An update for python-urllib3 is now available for openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP4Description:

HTTP library with thread-safe connection pooling, file post support, sanity friendly, and more.

Security Fix(es):

urllib3 version 2.6.3 is vulnerable to a decompression bomb bypass in its streaming API (preload_content=False) when using Brotli support. The issue arises due to three independent code paths in response.py that bypass the max_length protection introduced in version 2.6.0 to mitigate CVE-2025-66471. Specifically, negative max_length values can be produced due to buffer arithmetic in read(), flush_decoder unconditionally overrides max_length to -1, and _flush_decoder() passes no limit at all, defaulting to unlimited decompression. This allows a malicious HTTP server to trigger an out-of-memory (OOM) condition by decompressing large payloads into memory, leading to a denial of service (DoS). The vulnerability affects urllib3 2.6.3 and Brotli 1.2.0 and impacts applications and libraries using requests or urllib3 to stream content from untrusted sources.(CVE-2026-9375)Topic:
