Package        : python3.4
Version        : 3.4.2-1+deb8u5
CVE ID         : CVE-2019-9948


The urllib library in Python ships support for a second, not well known
URL scheme for accessing local files ("local_file://"). This scheme can
be used to circumvent protections that try to block local file access
and only block the well-known "file://" schema. This update addresses
the vulnerability by disallowing the "local_file://" URL scheme.

This update also fixes another regresssion introduced in the update
issued as DLA-1835-1 that broke installation of libpython3.4-testsuite.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
3.4.2-1+deb8u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your python3.4 packages.

For the detailed security status of python3.4 please refer to
