Debian DLA-761-2 : python-bottle regression update

high Nessus Plugin ID 96096

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The update for python-bottle issued as DLA 761-1 would cause a crash if a unicode string was used in a header. Updated packages are now available to correct this issue.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.10.11-1+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-bottle packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected python-bottle, and python-bottle-doc packages.
