Is EL-6's python-cryoto package not affected by this?
Whoops, typo there, I meant python-crypto.
Hi, Is this fix available as a part of pycrypto-2.6.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl. If not then in which release it will be bundled?? Thanks in advance.
There is no upstream release containing a fix for this issue, and there's no real prospect of there being one any time soon. The lack of a fix for this is leading many other projects to move away from python-crypto (pycrypto) to other libraries such as python-cryptography instead.

Tku for the prompt reply
RHUI 3 doesn't appear to use the affected code, emailed them to confirm, no reply yet.
kseifried advised that RHUI is unaffected.
