  • CVE-2024-35195 ( SUSE ): 6.0 CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
Affected Products:
  • SUSE Linux Micro 6.0

An update that solves one vulnerability can now be installed.

Description:

This update for python-requests fixes the following issues:

  • Update to 2.32.2

  • To provide a more stable migration for custom HTTPAdapters impacted by the CVE changes in 2.32.0, we've renamed _get_connection to a new public API, get_connection_with_tls_context. Existing custom HTTPAdapters will need to migrate their code to use this new API. get_connection is considered deprecated in all versions of Requests>=2.32.0.

  • Update to 2.32.1

  • Fixed an issue where setting verify=False on the first request from a Session will cause subsequent requests to the same origin to also ignore cert verification, regardless of the value of verify. (bsc#1224788, CVE-2024-35195)
  • verify=True now reuses a global SSLContext which should improve request time variance between first and subsequent requests.
  • Requests now supports optional use of character detection (chardet or charset_normalizer) when repackaged or vendored. This enables pip and other projects to minimize their vendoring surface area.
  • Requests has officially added support for CPython 3.12 and dropped support for CPython 3.7.
  • Starting in Requests 2.33.0, Requests will migrate to a PEP 517 build system using hatchling.
