November 19, 2024

python3.10, python3.12, python3.8 vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 24.10
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

Python could be made to run programs when activating virtual environments.

Software Description:
- python3.12: An interactive high-level object-oriented language
- python3.10: An interactive high-level object-oriented language

environments could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code when
the virtual environment is activated.
