PYSEC-2014-81

Quick fix

PYSEC-2014-81 — httplib2: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'httplib2>=0.9'

Details

httplib2 0.7.2, 0.8, and earlier, after an initial connection is made, does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
