Source: python-restkit
Version: 4.2.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: security upstream

Hi,

the following vulnerability was published for python-restkit.

CVE-2015-2674[0]:
Doesn't Validate TLS

python-restkit just used ssl.wrap_socket from the standard library
(which does not do any validation by default). AFAIK there is not
upstream fix for python-restkit yet. Upstream issue is reported at
[1].

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

For further information see:

Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed.

Salvatore
