Package(s):python-bugzilla CVE #(s):CVE-2013-2191
Created:July 8, 2013 Updated:July 10, 2013
Description: From the SUSE bugzilla entry:

It was found that python-bugzilla, a Python library for interacting with Bugzilla instances over XML-RPC functionality, did not perform X.509 certificate verification when using secured SSL connection. A man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacker could use this flaw to spoof Bugzilla server via an arbitrary certificate.
