MGASA-2013-0274 - Updated python-setuptools and python-virtualenv packages fix security
vulnerability

Publication date: 13 Sep 2013
URL: http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2013-0274.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 2, 3
CVE: CVE-2013-1633

Description:
easy_install in setuptools before 0.7 uses HTTP to retrieve packages from
the PyPI repository, and does not perform integrity checks on package
contents, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary
code via a crafted response to the default use of the product
(CVE-2013-1633).
