✅ Remediation

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Workaround: Do not extract archives from untrusted sources with the Python tarfile module. Users of the module should add sanity checks when calling the tarfile.extract or tarfile.extractall functions. Workaround: For users who are not able to update Requests immediately, there is one potential workaround. You may disable redirects by setting allow_redirects to False on all calls through Requests top-level APIs. Note that if you are currently relying on redirect behaviors, you will need to capture the 3xx response codes and ensure a new request is made to the redirect destination. import requests r = requests.get('http://github.com/', allow_redirects=False)
