RedHat: RHSA-2018-1274:01 Low: python-paramiko security, bug fix,
Summary
The python-paramiko package provides a Python module that implements the
SSH2 protocol for encrypted and authenticated connections to remote
machines. Unlike SSL, the SSH2 protocol does not require hierarchical
certificates signed by a powerful central authority. The protocol also
includes the ability to open arbitrary channels to remote services across
an encrypted tunnel.
The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version:
python-paramiko (2.1.1). (BZ#1562393)
Security Fix(es):
* python-paramiko: Authentication bypass in transport.py (CVE-2018-7750)
