{"id":"MGASA-2026-0592","summary":"Updated python-pytest package fixes a security vulnerability","details":"On UNIX, pytest uses a predictable naming scheme under /tmp with a UID\ncheck for added security. The UID check however will follow symlinks,\nand is vulnerable to TOCTOU. This leaves pytest vulnerable to several\nwell-known vulnerabilities on multi-user systems. The risk ultimately\ndepends on how pytest is used, but denial of service is trivial and code\nexecution is possible.\n","modified":"2026-11-12T22:45:03.373634501Z","published":"2026-11-12T22:40:23Z","upstream":["CVE-2025-71176"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2026-0592.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35050"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/01/21/5"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/13669"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"python-pytest","ecosystem":"Mageia:10","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/python-pytest?arch=source&distro=mageia-10"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"9.0.3-1.mga10"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2026-0592.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.2","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
