Name : python-defusedxml
Product : Fedora EPEL 7
Version : 0.5.0
Release : 1.el7
URL :

Summary : XML bomb protection for Python stdlib modules
Description :
The defusedxml package contains several Python-only workarounds and fixes for
denial of service and other vulnerabilities in Python's XML libraries. In order
to benefit from the protection you just have to import and use the listed
functions / classes from the right defusedxml module instead of the original
module.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This update provides version 0.5.0 of `python-defusedxml`. The main feature of
this release is Python 3.6 compatibility, which affects only Fedora Rawhide, but
it includes various other minor cleanups that are worth having for all
distributions. This update is not provided for EPEL 6 as 0.5.0 drops
compatibility with Python 2.6, which is the system Python version on EL 6. This
update also enables the Python 3 subpackage on EPEL 7.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs. Use
su -c 'yum update python-defusedxml' at the command line.
For more information, refer to "YUM", available at

All packages are signed with the Fedora EPEL GPG key. More details on the
GPG keys used by the Fedora Project can be found at
