Synopsis:          Moderate: python security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2013:1582-2
Issue Date:        2013-11-21
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2013-4238
--

A flaw was found in the way the Python SSL module handled X.509
certificate fields that contain a NULL byte. An attacker could potentially
exploit this flaw to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks to spoof SSL
servers. Note that to exploit this issue, an attacker would need to obtain
a carefully crafted certificate signed by an authority that the client
trusts. (CVE-2013-4238)
