   An update that fixes four vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:

   This update to python 2.7.9 fixes the following issues:
   * python-2.7-libffi-aarch64.patch: Fix argument passing in libffi for
     aarch64

   From the version update to 2.7.9:
     * contains full backport of ssl module from Python 3.4 (PEP466)
     * HTTPS certificate validation enabled by default (PEP476)
     * SSLv3 disabled by default (bnc#901715)
     * backported ensurepip module (PEP477)
     * fixes several missing CVEs from last release: CVE-2013-1752,
       CVE-2013-1753
     * dropped upstreamed patches: python-2.7.6-poplib.patch,
       smtplib_maxline-2.7.patch, xmlrpc_gzip_27.patch
     * dropped patch python-2.7.3-ssl_ca_path.patch because we don't need it
       with ssl module from Python 3
     * libffi was upgraded upstream, seems to contain our changes, so
       dropping libffi-ppc64le.diff as well
     * python-2.7-urllib2-localnet-ssl.patch - properly remove unconditional
       "import ssl" from test_urllib2_localnet that caused it to fail without
       ssl

     * skip test_thread in qemu_linux_user mode

   From the version update to 2.7.8:
     * fixes CVE-2014-4650 directory traversal in CGIHTTPServer
     * fixes CVE-2014-7185 (bnc#898572) potential buffer overflow in buffer()

   Also the DH parameters were increased to 2048 bit to fix logjam security
   issue (bsc#935856)
