USN-8744-1: Python vulnerabilities

Ubuntu issued USN-8744-1 fixing CVE-2026-3644, a Python http.cookies content-injection flaw, plus a pyexpat recursion DoS across six Ubuntu LTS releases.

Ubuntu published security notice USN-8744-1 addressing two Python vulnerabilities affecting Ubuntu 14.04 LTS through 24.04 LTS. CVE-2026-3644 concerns incorrect handling of control characters in the http.cookies module, which could allow an attacker to inject arbitrary content. The second issue involves unbounded recursion in the Expat XML parser reached via the pyexpat module, which could crash Python and cause a denial of service. Updated packages are available; no exploitation in the wild is reported.

The Morsel.update(), |= operator, and unpickling paths were not patched, allowing control characters to bypass input validation. Additionally, BaseCookie.js_output() lacked the output validation applied to BaseCookie.output().
