FAQs regarding Amazon Linux ALAS/CVE Severity

Issue Overview:

The import hook in CPython that handles legacy *.pyc files (SourcelessFileLoader) is incorrectly handled in FileLoader (a base class) and so does not use io.open_code() to read the .pyc files. sys.audit handlers for this audit event therefore do not fire. (CVE-2026-2297)

http.cookies.Morsel.js_output() returns an inline <script> snippet and only escapes " for JavaScript string context. It does not neutralize the HTML parser-sensitive sequence </script> inside the generated script element. Mitigation base64-encodes the cookie value to disallow escaping using cookie value. (CVE-2026-6019)

Issue Correction:
Run dnf update python3.11 --releasever 2023.12.20260622 or dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2026-1832 --releasever 2023.12.20260622 to update your system.
