   An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:

   This update for python-cryptography fixes the following issues:

   - CVE-2018-10903: 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 could have caused key
     leakage (bsc#1101820).
