Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: bookworm
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Control: affects -1 + src:python-filelock
User: [email protected]
Usertags: pu

[ Reason ]
Fix TOCTOU race condition vulnerabilities in filelock:
CVE-2025-68146 and CVE-2026-22701.

[ Impact ]
Local attackers may exploit a race condition when
creating lock files.

[ Tests ]
The vulnerable code paths were tested with the proposed
patches applied.

[ Risks ]
The changes are limited to lock file creation logic and
backport upstream fixes. The risk is low.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
  [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]
Import and backport upstream patches for CVE-2025-68146
and CVE-2026-22701.

[ Other info ]
@satta has reviewed this backport and will sponsor it.
