An update that solves four vulnerabilities can now be installed.

Description:

This update to python 2.7.9 fixes the following issues: * python-2.7-libffi-aarch64.patch: Fix argument passing in libffi for aarch64

From the version update to 2.7.9: * contains full backport of ssl module from Python 3.4 (PEP466) * HTTPS certificate validation enabled by default (PEP476) * SSLv3 disabled by default (bnc#901715) * backported ensurepip module (PEP477) * fixes several missing CVEs from last release: CVE-2013-1752, CVE-2013-1753 * dropped upstreamed patches: python-2.7.6-poplib.patch, smtplib_maxline-2.7.patch, xmlrpc_gzip_27.patch * dropped patch python-2.7.3-ssl_ca_path.patch because we don't need it with ssl module from Python 3 * libffi was upgraded upstream, seems to contain our changes, so dropping libffi-ppc64le.diff as well * python-2.7-urllib2-localnet-ssl.patch - properly remove unconditional "import ssl" from test_urllib2_localnet that caused it to fail without ssl

  • skip test_thread in qemu_linux_user mode

From the version update to 2.7.8: * fixes CVE-2014-4650 directory traversal in CGIHTTPServer * fixes CVE-2014-7185 (bnc#898572) potential buffer overflow in buffer()

Also the DH parameters were increased to 2048 bit to fix logjam security issue (bsc#935856)
