Subject: [OE-core][scarthgap][PATCH] python3-ply: set status for CVE-2025-56005
Date: Wed,  2 Sep 2026 22:19:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903051903.3667481-1-hthakar@cisco.com> (raw)

From: Hetvi Thakar <hthakar@cisco.com>

PLY 3.11 contains the picklefile parameter described by
CVE-2025-56005, but exploitation requires an application to
explicitly pass an attacker-controlled pickle file to yacc().

No OE-Core consumer uses this parameter. Ubuntu ignores the issue for
the same reason [1], and NVD records the CVE as disputed [2].
