Summary
Security update for python-cryptography
Details

This update for python-cryptography fixes the following issues:

  • CVE-2018-10903: The finalizewithtag API did not enforce a minimum tag length. If a user did not validate the input length prior to passing it to finalizewithtag an attacker could craft an invalid payload with a shortened tag (e.g. 1 byte) such that they would have a 1 in 256 chance of passing the MAC check. GCM tag forgeries could have caused key leakage (bsc#1101820).
