  - CVE-2019-9740: An issue was discovered in urllib2 in Python 2.x and urllib in Python 3.x.
  CRLF injection is possible if the attacker controls a url parameter, as demonstrated by the first
  argument to 'urllib.request.urlopen' with 'rn' (specifically in the query string after a '?'
  character) followed by an HTTP header or a Redis command.

  CRLF injection is possible if the attacker controls a url parameter, as demonstrated by the first
