Package        : requests
CVE ID         : CVE-2014-1829 CVE-2014-1830
Debian Bug     : 733108

Jakub Wilk discovered that in requests, an HTTP library for the Python
language, authentication information was improperly handled when a
redirect occured. This would allow remote servers to obtain two
different types of sensitive information: proxy passwords from the
Proxy-Authorization header (CVE-2014-1830), or netrc passwords from
the Authorization header (CVE-2014-1829).

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.12.1-1+deb7u1.

For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie) and unstable
distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2.3.0-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your requests packages.
