In httplib2, an attacker controlling unescaped part of uri for httplib2.Http.request() could change request headers and body, send additional hidden requests to same server. This vulnerability impacts software that uses httplib2 with uri constructed by string concatenation, as opposed to proper urllib building with escaping.

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this problem has been fixed in version 0.9+dfsg-2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-httplib2 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
