Changes and CVEs fixed in 3.5.4:

  • CVE-2025-9230 - Fix Out-of-bounds read & write in RFC 3211 KEK Unwrap.
  • CVE-2025-9231 - Fix Timing side-channel in SM2 algorithm on 64-bit ARM.
  • CVE-2025-9232 - Fix Out-of-bounds read in HTTP client no_proxy handling.
  • Reverted the synthesised OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER change for the release builds, as it broke some exiting applications that relied on the previous 3.x semantics, as documented in OpenSSL_version(3).

None of these CVEs look particularly concerning. The first two are rated "moderate" but the first one is for CMS (S/MIME etc.) which I think isn't even exposed to Python, and the second one is for a configuration that isn't usable by default and you'd have to write custom compiled code to enable. The third one is rated "low". So, no rush to cut a release for these IMO.
