Summary
The remote host is missing an update for the 'python3.4' package(s) announced via the DSA-1852-1 advisory.
Insight
Insight
The urllib library in Python ships support for a second, not well known URL scheme for accessing local files ('local_file://'). This scheme can be used to circumvent protections that try to block local file access and only block the well-known 'file://' schema. This update addresses the vulnerability by disallowing the 'local_file://' URL scheme. This update also fixes another regresssion introduced in the update issued as DLA-1835-1 that broke installation of libpython3.4-testsuite.
