+CVE-2021-3426: Remove the ``getfile`` feature of the :mod:`pydoc` module
+which could be abused to read arbitrary files on the disk (directory
+traversal vulnerability). Moreover, even source code of Python modules can
+contain sensitive data like passwords. Vulnerability reported by David
+Schwörer.

+
+:mod:`ftplib` no longer trusts the IP address value returned from the server
+in response to the PASV command by default. This prevents a malicious FTP
+server from using the response to probe IPv4 address and port combinations
+on the client network.
+
+Code that requires the former vulnerable behavior may set a
+``trust_server_pasv_ipv4_address`` attribute on their :class:`ftplib.FTP`
+instances to ``True`` to re-enable it.

+Fixed long-standing bug of smtplib.SMTP where doing AUTH LOGIN with
+initial_response_ok=False will fail.
+
+The cause is that SMTP.auth_login _always_ returns a password if provided
+with a challenge string, thus non-compliant with the standard for AUTH
+LOGIN.
