zipfile: bzip2/LZMA/Zstandard members decompress without a max_length bound, defeating chunked-read memory limits
CVE-2026-15310 is fixed in 56 products on 3 platforms, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-15310, released September 12, 2026. 10 other affected products have no fix yet. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
When decompressing crafted zip files using the bzip/LZMA/Zstandard compressions, Python could use an attacker-controlled size to pre-allocate memory, possibly resulting in memory exhaustion.
