    From Newsgroup: comp.lang.python.announce

    PyCA cryptography 42.0.3 has been released to PyPI. cryptography
    includes both high level recipes and low level interfaces to common cryptographic algorithms such as symmetric ciphers, asymmetric
    algorithms, message digests, X509, key derivation functions, and much
    more. We support Python 3.7+, and PyPy3 7.3.10+.

    Changelog (https://cryptography.io/en/latest/changelog/#v42-0-4):
    * Fixed a null-pointer-dereference and segfault that could occur when creating a PKCS#12 bundle. Credit to **Alexander-Programming** for reporting the
    issue. **CVE-2024-26130**
    * Fixed ASN.1 encoding for PKCS7/SMIME signed messages. The fields ``SMIMECapabilities``
    and ``SignatureAlgorithmIdentifier`` should now be correctly encoded
    according to the
    definitions in :rfc:`2633` :rfc:`3370`.
