It was discovered that the Python ipaddress module contained incorrect
information about which IP address ranges were considered “private” or
“globally reachable”. This could possibly result in applications applying
incorrect security policies. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-4032)
It was discovered that Python incorrectly handled quoting path names when
using the venv module. A local attacker able to control virtual
environments could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code when
the virtual environment is activated. (CVE-2024-9287)
It was discovered that Python incorrectly handled parsing bracketed hosts.
A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a Server-Side
Request Forgery (SSRF) attack. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (
