Integer overflow in the getdata function in zipimport.c in CPython (aka Python) before 2.7.12, 3.x before 3.4.5, and 3.5.x before 3.5.2 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a negative data size value, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
A vulnerability in smtplib allowing MITM attacker to perform a startTLS stripping attack. smtplib does not seem to raise an exception when the remote end (smtp server) is capable of negotiating starttls but fails to respond with 220 (ok) to an explicit call of SMTP.starttls(). This may allow a malicious MITM to perform a startTLS stripping attack if the client code does not explicitly check the response code for startTLS.
A vulnerability in Python's http, ftp and url libraries was reported, allowing to inject additional HTTP headers and more.
Upstream bug: https://bugs.python.org/issue22928
Upstream patches Python 3.4 / 3.5 : revision 94952 : https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/bf3e1c9b80e9 Python 2.7 : revision 94951 : https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/1c45047c5102
Additional note : When used in combination with flaw described in BZ 1347549, an attacker could direct an HTTP connection to a malicious server, using the following combined issues:
Python's httplib does not validate HTTP header values. A malicious 'Host' header with quoted new lines can inject additional headers and more glibc's getaddrinfo() ignores new lines and everything after a new line character when the first part looks like a IPv4 address

A denial of service flaw was found in the way SSL module implementation of Python3, version 3 of the Python programming language (aka Python 3000), performed matching of the certificate's name in the case it contained many '' wildcard characters. A remote attacker, able to obtain valid certificate with its name containing a lot of '' wildcard characters could use this flaw to cause denial of service (excessive CPU consumption) by issuing request to validate such a certificate for / to an application using the Python's ssl.matchhostname() functionality.

Race condition in the getmaskedmode function in Lib/os.py in Python 3.2 through 3.5, when existok is set to true and multiple threads are used, might allow local users to bypass intended file permissions by leveraging a separate application vulnerability before the umask has been set to the expected value.
