It was reported [1],[2] that the way the certificate check was implemented to fix CVE-2013-2073 was incorrect. The check was done on the "probe" connection, but not the actual connection used to transfer data. This should be fixed in upstream 0.10 version which switches to using urllib3 with properl certificate checks. A CVE has been requested [4].
