AZL-113326: CVE-2026-115791 affecting package python-py 1.11.0-1

Published Nov 10, 2026

Updated

When tarfile or zipfile command line interface (CLI) is used to

decompress an archive, a Python script shadowing the stdlib can be

created. Then if an error occurs during decompressing the next file,

the newly created Python script is executed. This is especially true

if the created Python is called traceback.py. The problem is that

Python adds the current directory to sys.path when python -m MODULE is

run, and the archive is also decompressed in the current directory.

The fix removes sys.path[0] in gzip, tarfile and zipfile command line

interface to prevent shadowing standard library modules from extracted

files.
