21     Updated python3 packages fix security vulnerabilities:
22    
23     A denial of service flaw was found in the way SSL module implementation of
24     Python 3 performed matching of the certificate's name in the case it contained
25     many '*' wildcard characters. A remote attacker, able to obtain valid
26     certificate with its name containing a lot of '*' wildcard characters could use
27     this flaw to cause denial of service (excessive CPU consumption) by issuing
28     request to validate such a certificate for / to an application using the
29     Python's ssl.match_hostname() functionality (CVE-2013-2099).
30    
31     Ryan Sleevi of the Google Chrome Security Team has discovered that Python's SSL
32     module doesn't handle NULL bytes inside subjectAltNames general names. This
33     could lead to a breach when an application uses ssl.match_hostname() to match
34     the hostname againt the certificate's subjectAltName's dNSName general names.

37     Additionally, a linking issue when compiling C extensions for Python 3 has been
38     fixed in Mageia 3 (mga#9395).
39    
40     The CVE-2013-2099 issue also affects bzr, python-requests, python-tornado,
41     python-pip, and python-virtualenv, and those have been updated as well.
