Description D'juan McDonald (domhnall) 2019-07-14 07:45:14 UTC 
(https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-20852):

http.cookiejar.DefaultPolicy.domain_return_ok in Lib/http/cookiejar.py in Python before 3.7.3 does not correctly validate the domain: it can be tricked into sending existing cookies to the wrong server. An attacker may abuse this flaw by using a server with a hostname that has another valid hostname as a suffix (e.g., pythonicexample.com to steal cookies for example.com). When a program uses http.cookiejar.DefaultPolicy and tries to do an HTTP connection to an attacker-controlled server, existing cookies can be leaked to the attacker. This affects 2.x through 2.7.16, 3.x before 3.4.10, 3.5.x before 3.5.7, 3.6.x before 3.6.9, and 3.7.x before 3.7.3.

[?] dev-lang/python
     Available versions:  
     (2.7)  2.7.15 (~)2.7.16{xpak}
     (3.5)  3.5.5(3.5/3.5m)^t (~)3.5.7(3.5/3.5m)^t{xpak}
     (3.6)  3.6.5(3.6/3.6m)^t (~)3.6.8(3.6/3.6m)^t{xpak}
     (3.7)  (~)3.7.2(3.7/3.7m)^t (~)3.7.3(3.7/3.7m)^t{xpak}

So we need to stabilize new versions of 2.7, 3.5, 3.7 and bump+stabilize 3.6.

@ maintainer(s): You still need to fix 2.7.x branch (https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/979daae300916adb399ab5b51410b6ebd0888f13) or bump to 2.7.17!
Comment 4 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-12-07 01:21:19 UTC 
Let's use this one for stabilization.

@ maintainer(s): Please call for stabilization!
