3. Description:
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language
that supports modules, classes, exceptions, high-level dynamic data types,
and dynamic typing. The python27 packages provide a stable release of
Python 2.7 with a number of additional utilities and database connectors
for MySQL and PostgreSQL.
The python27 Software Collection has been upgraded to version 2.7.13, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
For detailed changes, see the Red Hat Software Collections 2.4 Release
Notes linked from the References section. (BZ#1402809, BZ#1344674,
BZ#1413063)
Security Fix(es) in the python27-python component:
* The Python standard library HTTP client modules (such as httplib or
urllib) did not perform verification of TLS/SSL certificates when
connecting to HTTPS servers. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this
flaw to hijack connections and eavesdrop or modify transferred data.
(CVE-2014-9365)
Note: The Python standard library was updated to enable certificate
verification by default. Refer to the Knowledgebase article 2039753 linked
to in the References section for further details about this change.
(BZ#1417838)
