The fix for this has been deemed to intrusive and complicated to back port. Upstream is not releasing a back port patch for this. Please see related tickets for details: http://bugs.python.org/issue14621 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1039915 Proposed workaround is: "Python applications should validate the length/size of the data before storing the data in hash tables or dictionaries this should stop most of the hash-collision related denial of service attacks."
