    CVE-2014-2667

    Summary: Updated python3 packages fix security vulnerability

    Details: It was reported that a patch added to Python 3.2 caused a race condition where a file created could be created with world read/write permissions instead of the permissions dictated by the original umask of the process. This could allow a local attacker that could win the race to view and edit files created by a program using this call. Note that prior versions of Python, including 2.x, do not include the vulnerable _get_masked_mode() function that is used by os.makedirs() when exist_ok is set to True (CVE-2014-2667).
