Description gernot 2017-07-06 07:51:14 UTC
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?
