Topic

An updated python-weberror package that fixes one bug is now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The python-weberror package provides WebError, a web application's error handing
library for use as a Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) middleware.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the WebError middleware used the MD5 algorithm when assigning an

identifier to the handled error. However, this algorithm is not, by default,
supported by Python's runtime in FIPS mode. Consequently, when web applications
raised an exception in FIPS mode and the exception was handled by WebError,
incomplete error diagnostics were provided. With this update, error
identification based on MD5 is not generated automatically, thus avoiding the
problems when the error identifier is not processed further. (BZ#746118)

Users of python-weberror are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
fixes this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
