Python Software Foundation is sending updates for Python 3.9.2 and 3.8.8 to address critical security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities include a remote code execution vulnerability that can be exploited to shut down systems. The severity of potential impacts will depend on what the Python application does, hence it had not viewed the update as urgent until users called for release of a fix. Red Hat also evaluates this vulnerability as having a high impact as it can cause a distributed denial-of-service attack.”]
