"An update for python is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each
vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to
many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing
systems.

* python: DOS via regular expression backtracking in
difflib.IS_LINE_JUNK method in difflib (CVE-2018-1061)

* python: DOS via regular expression catastrophic backtracking in
apop() method in pop3lib (CVE-2018-1060)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a
