python-2.7.5-94.0.2.el7.AXS7

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language
often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java. Python includes modules, classes,
exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python
supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various
windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac and MFC).

Programmers can write new built-in modules for Python in C or C++. Python can be
used as an extension language for applications that need a programmable
interface.

Note that documentation for Python is provided in the python-docs package.

This package provides the "python" executable; most of the actual implementation
is within the "python-libs" package.

Security Fix(es):

* Bugfix for CVE-2023-27043, use str instead of unicode, adjust tests according
to python2 specification.

CVE(s):
CVE-2023-27043
The email module of Python through 3.11.3 incorrectly parses e-mail addresses that contain a special character. The wrong portion of an RFC2822 header is identified as the value of the addr-spec. In some applications, an attacker can bypass a protection mechanism in which application access is granted only after verifying receipt of e-mail to a specific domain (e.g., only @company.example.com addresses may be used for signup). This occurs in email/_parseaddr.py in recent versions of Python.
