Summary
python-urllib3 vulnerabilities
Details

Illia Volochii discovered that urllib3 did not limit the steps in a decompression chain. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause urllib3 to use excessive resources, causing a denial of service. (CVE-2025-66418)

Rui Xi discovered that urllib3 incorrectly handled highly compressed data. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause urllib3 to use excessive resources, causing a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Ubuntu 25.04, and Ubuntu 25.10. (CVE-2025-66471)

For the brotli encoding, the fix for CVE-2025-66471 requires an additional security update in the brotli package.
