FAQs regarding Amazon Linux ALAS/CVE Severity

Issue Overview:

When building nested elements using xml.dom.minidom methods such as appendChild() that have a dependency on _clear_id_cache() the algorithm is quadratic. Availability can be impacted when building excessively nested documents. (CVE-2025-12084)

When reading an HTTP response from a server, if no read amount is specified, the default behavior will be to use Content-Length. This allows a malicious server to cause the client to read large amounts of data into memory, potentially causing OOM or other DoS. (CVE-2025-13836)

When loading a plist file, the plistlib module reads data in size specified by the file itself, meaning a malicious file can cause OOM and DoS issues (CVE-2025-13837)

Issue Correction:
Run dnf update python3.12 --releasever 2023.10.20260105 or dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2025-1344 --releasever 2023.10.20260105 to update your system.
