Amazon Linux 2 Security Advisory: ALAS-2025-2761
Advisory Release Date: 2025-02-12 23:17 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2025-02-25 10:30 Pacific
The "ipaddress" module contained incorrect information about whether certain IPv4 and IPv6 addresses were designated as "globally reachable" or "private". This affected the is_private and is_global properties of the ipaddress.IPv4Address, ipaddress.IPv4Network, ipaddress.IPv6Address, and ipaddress.IPv6Network classes, where values wouldn't be returned in accordance with the latest information from the IANA Special-Purpose Address Registries.
CPython 3.12.4 and 3.13.0a6 contain updated information from these registries and thus have the intended behavior. (CVE-2024-4032)
