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.

PostgreSQL Fixes 12-Year-Old Logical Decoding Flaw Enabling Replication-Role Code Execution

PostgreSQL fixed CVE-2026-6471 (CVSS 7.2), a 12-year-old logical decoding flaw letting replication-role accounts execute arbitrary code as the database OS user.

PostgreSQL patched CVE-2026-6471 (CVSS 7.2), a flaw present since logical decoding shipped in 9.4 (2014) that lets an account with the REPLICATION attribute run arbitrary code as the database server's OS user when wal_level is logical. Versions before 18.6, 17.11, 16.15, 15.19, and 14.24 are affected; exploitation requires such an account, which backup, CDC, and monitoring tooling routinely holds. The fix adds an output_plugin_libraries whitelist, so administrators using non-default plugins such as wal2json and decoderbufs must add them and reload configuration after updating. Cyera Research, whose write-up names the flaw PostGREShell, demonstrated escalating a replication user to superuser with persistence; no PoC or KEV entry existed as of September 4.

Re: Retrospective by 'gpg.fail' authors

Sam James replies to GnuPG author Werner Koch that upstream may freely adopt stricter -W compiler warnings, while distros should avoid blanket -Werror.

This is an oss-security mailing list reply by Sam James (Gentoo toolchain maintainer) to Werner Koch in the thread on the 'gpg.fail' authors' retrospective about GnuPG. James states that upstream projects like GnuPG should feel free to enable whatever -W* warning flags they need. He adds that distributions should not use -Werror indiscriminately, allowing narrow exceptions such as -Werror=format-security, and may reject warning-driven bugs that do not reflect real issues. No new CVE or vulnerability details are disclosed in this reply.

Jackrong/Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash-GGUF — new model trending #26 on Hugging Face

Community fine-tune Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash, built on Qwen3.8-27B, cuts agent reasoning latency with 12.8% faster decoding and 80.7% MTP acceptance.

Jackrong released Qwopus3.8-27B-Flash, a fine-tune of Qwen3.8-27B optimized for long-running agent workloads, reporting 12.8% faster decoding and 80.7% multi-token-prediction acceptance. Training used roughly 1.5 million teacher-scored SFT examples filtered to the top 10%, followed by reinforcement training with NVIDIA NeMo-RL and GSPO. The author notes an explicit trade-off: MMLU-Pro mixed-set scores are lower than the base model, and a known bug can produce incorrect Python indentation. Author-provided benchmarks have not been independently verified.
