Fedora 10 Update: python-fedora-0.3.9-1.fc10

February 12, 2009

This release includes a bugfix to the fedora.client.AccountSystem().verify_password() method

Summary

Python modules that help with building Fedora Services. This includes a JSON

based auth provider for authenticating against FAS2 over the network and a

client that handles communication with the servers. The client module can

be used to build programs that communicate with Fedora Infrastructure's

TurboGears Applications such as Bodhi, PackageDB, MirrorManager, and FAS2.

This release includes a bugfix to the

fedora.client.AccountSystem().verify_password() method. verify_password() was

incorrectly returning True (username, password combination was correct) for any

input. Although no known code is using this method to verify a user's account

with the Fedora Account System, the existence of the method and the fact that

anyone using this would be allowing users due to the bug makes this a high

priority bug to fix.
