Regarding python updates, how can they affect cloudera?
there is a security update

RHSA-2023:0833 - Security Advisory
Description
A vulnerability was discovered in Python. A quadratic algorithm exists when processing inputs to the IDNA (RFC 3490) decoder, such that a crafted unreasonably long name being presented to the decoder could lead to a CPU denial of service. Hostnames are often supplied by remote servers that could be controlled by a malicious actor, which could trigger excessive CPU consumption on the client attempting to make use of an attacker-supplied hostname.

Do these types of updates affect cloudera?

Hello @Emanuel_MXN

Thank you for brining this

What version of CDP CM are you using? What is the exact python version you are upgrading?

In general we need to ensure that target python version should be compatible with CM CDP and then we should be good
