Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-1166-01 - 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. Security Fix: The following fix was applied to the python component: The Python standard library HTTP client modules 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.

Cloud instances need special scripts to run during initialization to retrieve and install ssh keys and to let the user run various scripts. A denial of service flaw was found in the way Python's SSL module implementation performed matching of certain certificate names. A remote attacker able to obtain a valid certificate that contained multiple wildcard characters could use this flaw to issue a request to validate such a certificate, resulting in excessive consumption of CPU. This issue was discovered by Florian Weimer of Red Hat Product Security.

A denial of service flaw was found in the way Python's SSL module implementation performed matching of certain certificate names. A remote attacker able to obtain a valid certificate that contained multiple wildcard characters could use this flaw to issue a request to validate such a certificate, resulting in excessive consumption of CPU.

An attacker could exploit this to cause Python to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service. Ryan Sleevi discovered that Python did not properly handle certificates with NULL characters in the Subject Alternative Name field. An attacker could exploit this to perform a man in the middle attack to view sensitive information or alter encrypted communications. Various other issues were also addressed.

A remote attacker, able to obtain valid certificate with its name containing a lot of '*' wildcard characters could use this flaw to cause denial of service (excessive CPU consumption) by issuing request to validate such a certificate for / to an application using the Python's ssl.match_hostname() functionality.
