Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: python-dns security update

Notes

Topic
An update for python-dns is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
Details
The python-dns package contains the dnslib module that implements a DNS client and additional modules that define certain symbolic constants used by DNS, such as dnstype, dnsclass and dnsopcode. Security Fix(es): * dnspython: denial of service in stub resolver (CVE-2023-29483) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
