USN-6524-1: PyPy vulnerability
29 November 2023
PyPy could be made to crash or run programs if it received specially crafted data.
Releases
Packages
- pypy3 - fast alternative implementation of Python 3.x
Details
Nicky Mouha discovered that PyPy incorrectly handled certain SHA-3
operations. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause PyPy to
crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
code.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 22.04
Ubuntu 20.04
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
