Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2018-0429)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-asn1crypto, python-cffi, python-cryptography, python-cryptography-vectors' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2018-0429 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'python-asn1crypto, python-cffi, python-cryptography, python-cryptography-vectors' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2018-0429 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: The python-cryptography and python-cryptography-vectors packages have been updated to version 2.3.1 and fixes the following security issue: The finalize_with_tag API did not enforce a minimum tag length. If a user did not validate the input length prior to passing it to finalize_with_tag 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 can cause key leakage (CVE-2018-10903). Affected Software/OS: 'python-asn1crypto, python-cffi, python-cryptography, python-cryptography-vectors' package(s) on Mageia 6. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
