python-pip security update

Details

pip is the package installer for Python. You can use pip to install packages from the Python Package Index and other indexes. %global bashcompdir %(b=$(pkg-config --variable=completionsdir bash-completion 2>/dev/null); echo ${b:-/bash_completion.d}) Name: python-pip Version: 23.3.1 Release: 6 Summary: A tool for installing and managing Python packages License: MIT and Python and ASL 2.0 and BSD and ISC and LGPLv2 and MPLv2.0 and (ASL 2.0 or BSD) URL: http://www.pip-installer.org Source0: Source1: pip.loongarch.conf BuildArch: noarch Patch1: remove-existing-dist-only-if-path-conflicts.

Security Fix(es):

urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python. Starting in version 1.24 and prior to 2.6.0, the number of links in the decompression chain was unbounded allowing a malicious server to insert a virtually unlimited number of compression steps leading to high CPU usage and massive memory allocation for the decompressed data. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.6.0.(CVE-2025-66418)

Severity

7.5 (High)
