RHEA-2016:2371 - python-cryptography and python-cffi bug fix and enhancement update
Synopsis
python-cryptography and python-cffi bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory None
Topic
An update for python-cryptography and python-cffi is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
The python-cryptography packages contain a Python Cryptographic Authority's (PyCA's) cryptography library, which provides cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers.
The python-cffi packages contain a foreign function interface (FFI) for Python, which provides a convenient and reliable way of calling existing C code from Python.
For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 Release Notes linked from the References section.
Users of python-cryptography and python-cffi are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.
