Ian Cordasco reported the following issue to the oss-security list: "" A fix was merged and released today for the package which performs kerberos authentication when using python-requests. Prior to this, every version of the package did not properly handle mutual authentication which means that the client did not verify that the user was communicating with a trusted server. The version which contains the fix is 0.6 and all prior versions are considered vulnerable.
