Public bug reported:

Hi
I notice some doc inconsistency in checking security update for CVE-2021-29921 
on both 3.8.5-1~20.04.3 and 3.8.6-1ubuntu0.3 .

here says "Leading zeros are tolerated" in Doc/library/ipaddress.rst but 
actually this
usage is being banned in parsing. This inconsistency may lead to some confuse. 
Can this
be fixed in next release?

```
   .. versionchanged:: 3.8

      Leading zeros are tolerated, even in ambiguous cases that look like
      octal notation.
```
