"It was discovered that there was a directory traversal attack in pip,
the Python package installer.
When an URL was given in an install command, as a Content-Disposition
header was permitted to have '../' components in their filename,
arbitrary local files (eg. /root/.ssh/authorized_keys) could be
overidden.
For Debian 9 'Stretch', this problem has been fixed in version
9.0.1-2+deb9u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your python-pip packages.
For the detailed security status of python-pip please refer to its
security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/python-pip
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.");
