Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2015:133
http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : python-requests
Date : March 29, 2015
Affected: Business Server 2.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Updated python-requests packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Python-requests was found to have a vulnerability, where the attacker
can retrieve the passwords from ~/.netrc file through redirect
requests, if the user has their passwords stored in the ~/.netrc file
(CVE-2014-1829).

It was discovered that the python-requests Proxy-Authorization header
was never re-evaluated when a redirect occurs. The Proxy-Authorization
header was sent to any new proxy or non-proxy destination as redirected
(CVE-2014-1830).

In python-requests before 2.6.0, a cookie without a host value set
would use the hostname for the redirected URL exposing requests
users to session fixation attacks and potentially cookie stealing
(CVE-2015-2296).
