.. release date: 2022-12-06
.. section: Security

``python -m http.server`` no longer allows terminal control characters sent
within a garbage request to be printed to the stderr server log.

This is done by changing the :mod:`http.server`
:class:`BaseHTTPRequestHandler` ``.log_message`` method to replace control
characters with a ``\xHH`` hex escape before printing.

.. section: Security

The IDNA codec decoder used on DNS hostnames by :mod:`socket` or
:mod:`asyncio` related name resolution functions no longer involves a
quadratic algorithm. This prevents a potential CPU denial of service if an
out-of-spec excessive length hostname involving bidirectional characters
were decoded. Some protocols such as :mod:`urllib` http ``3xx`` redirects
potentially allow for an attacker to supply such a name.
