Descriptions

A defect was discovered in the Python “ssl” module where there is a memory
race condition with the ssl.SSLContext methods “cert_store_stats()” and
“get_ca_certs()”. The race condition can be triggered if the methods are
called at the same time as certificates are loaded into the SSLContext,
such as during the TLS handshake with a certificate directory configured.
This issue is fixed in CPython 3.10.14, 3.11.9, 3.12.3, and 3.13.0a5.

La condición de ejecución se puede desencadenar si los métodos se llaman al mismo tiempo que se cargan los certificados en SSLContext, como durante el protocolo de enlace TLS con un directorio de certificados configurado. Este problema se solucionó en CPython 3.10.14, 3.11.9, 3.12.3 y 3.13.0a5.
