Synopsis
python-beaker bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated python-beaker packages that fix one bug and are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The python-beaker package provides Beaker, a web session and general caching
library that includes Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) middleware for use in
web applications.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, Beaker used the MD5 algorithm to produce a unique hex-encoded
session identifier. However, this algorithm is not, by default, supported by
Python's runtime in FIPS mode. Consequently, web applications that used Beaker
failed to create new sessions in certain environments. With this update, MD5 has
been replaced with the SHA1 algorithm and the subsequent hex encoding with the
Base64 encoding scheme. As a result, Beaker works correctly in FIPS environment.
(BZ#983292)
Users of python-beaker are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
