python-waitress received a security fix in Version 1.0.0 (2016-08-31). The changelog states: Security ~~~~~~~~ - Waitress will now drop HTTP headers that contain an underscore in the key when received from a client. This is to stop any possible underscore/dash conflation that may lead to security issues. See https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/pull/80 and https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2015/jan/13/security/ See https://pypi.python.org/pypi/waitress/1.0.2 and https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/blob/v1.0.0/CHANGES.txt. Should this change be backported to python-waitess version 0.8.9-5.el7 in EPEL?
