Bug 210539: lang/python33: HTTP Header Injection in Python urllib
(CVE-2016-5699)
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=210539



--- Description ---
Python 3.3 is vulnerable to HTTP Header injection in urllib.

* Nice summary of the problem with POC:

  (assignment) http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/06/16/2

* Upstream issue:
  https://bugs.python.org/issue22928

* Upstream fix in Python 3.5, 3.4, 2.7 (but not 3.3):
  (3.5, 3.4) https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/bf3e1c9b80e9
  (2.7) https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/1c45047c5102

I've tested the POC given in the first link above, and indeed injection happens
with 3.3, but not with 3.4 (haven't tested the others). I'll see if I can
backport the patch myself, will attach it here. Also waiting for upstream to
respond about my backport request.
