  • CVE-2016-0772
    A vulnerability in smtplib allowing MITM attacker to perform a
    startTLS stripping attack. smtplib does not seem to raise an
    exception when the remote end (smtp server) is capable of
    negotiating starttls but fails to respond with 220 (ok) to an
    explicit call of SMTP.starttls(). This may allow a malicious
    MITM to perform a startTLS stripping attack if the client code
    does not explicitly check the response code for startTLS.
  • CVE-2016-5636
    Issue #26171: Fix possible integer overflow and heap corruption
    in zipimporter.get_data().
  • CVE-2016-5699
    Protocol injection can occur not only if an application sets a
    header based on user-supplied values, but also if the application
    ever tries to fetch a URL specified by an attacker (SSRF case) OR
    if the application ever accesses any malicious web server
    (redirection case).

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version
2.7.3-6+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your python2.7 packages.
