Moderate: python27:2.7 security, bug fix, and enhancement update

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language that supports modules, classes, exceptions, high-level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. The python27 packages provide a stable release of Python 2.7 with a number of additional utilities and database connectors for MySQL and PostgreSQL. The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: python2 (2.7.17). (BZ#1759944) Security Fix(es): * python-urllib3: Cross-host redirect does not remove Authorization header allow for credential exposure (CVE-2018-20060) * python: Cookie domain check returns incorrect results (CVE-2018-20852) * python-urllib3: CRLF injection due to not encoding the '\r\n' sequence leading to possible attack on internal service (CVE-2019-11236) * python-urllib3: Certification mishandle when error should be thrown (CVE-2019-11324) * python: email.utils.parseaddr wrongly parses email addresses (CVE-2019-16056) * python-requests: Redirect from HTTPS to HTTP does not remove Authorization header (CVE-2018-18074) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
