[Bug 1469653] [NEW] CVE-2014-0224 not fixed for python-openssl based servers

[Rob Meijer]

Public bug reported:

When creating a minimal https based server in python using 'from OpenSSL
import SSL' on a fully patched Ubuntu 14.04 system,  the OpenSSL bug as
reported in CVE-2014-0224 seems to persist for that server. A C++
implementation with the same functionality on the same system does not
show such issues so it would appear that its specific to python-openssl
.

The existence of this bug can be validated by running a simple python
based https server that uses the Python OpenSSL module on a public IP
adress and using the web form as provided on
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/

** Affects: pyopenssl (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Information type changed from Private Security to Public
