python-filelock: filelock is a platform-independent file lock for Python
CVE-2026-112936 is fixed in python-filelock on 1 platform by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-112936 (version 4.0.12-1), released October 21, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
filelock is a platform-independent file lock for Python. From 3.20.4 until 4.0.9, ReadWriteLock and AsyncReadWriteLock versions from 3.20.4 resolve the lock path and pass it to SQLite without rejecting a final symbolic link, allowing another local user who can create names in the lock directory to redirect database creation and locking or split mutual exclusion between targets. This issue is fixed in version 4.0.9.
