There is a HIGH severity vulnerability affecting the CPython "zipfile"module affecting "zipfile.Path". Note that the more common API "zipfile.ZipFile" class is unaffected.When iterating over names of entries in a zip archive (for example, methodsof "zipfile.Path" like "namelist()", "iterdir()", etc)the process can be put into an infinite loop with a maliciously craftedzip archive. This defect applies when reading only metadata or extractingthe contents of the zip archive. Programs that are not handlinguser-controlled zip archives are not affected.
