"It was discovered that there were multiple double free vulnerabilities
in python-psutil, a Python module providing convenience functions for
accessing system process data.

This was caused by incorrect reference counting handling within
for/while loops that convert system data into said Python objects.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this issue has been fixed in python-psutil
version 2.1.1-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-psutil packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues.");
