PYSEC-2014-94

Quick fix

PYSEC-2014-94 — pywbem: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'pywbem>=0.8.1'

Details

PyWBEM 0.7 and earlier 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.
