Security fixes: (note that the consolidated changelog is for all 3.11 releases and pre-releases.

    gh-100001: 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 http.server BaseHTTPRequestHandler .log_message method to replace control characters with a \xHH hex escape before printing.

    gh-87604: Avoid publishing list of active per-interpreter audit hooks via the gc module

    gh-98433: The IDNA codec decoder used on DNS hostnames by socket or 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 urllib http 3xx redirects potentially allow for an attacker to supply such a name.

    gh-98739: Update bundled libexpat to 2.5.0

    gh-97612: Fix a shell code injection vulnerability in the get-remote-certificate.py example script. The script no longer uses a shell to run openssl commands. Issue reported and initial fix by Caleb Shortt. Patch by Victor Stinner.

gh-98433 is CVE-2022-4561, rated High

That is also fixed in Python-3.10.9 for people sticking to the 3.10 series to avoid rebuilding all the installed modules.
