Package: libpython3.1
Version: 3.1.3-1
Severity: important
Hey,
it seems that python3.1 is somehow vulnerable to CVE-2011-3389 (the
so-called BEAST attack) since it'll by default disable the workaround
provided by OpenSSL. This is fixed starting 3.1.5, according to
http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.1.5/
Regards,

This bug has been reported against an ancient version of
python (2.5/3.1), that was last released with Debian 6.0 (squeeze). But
even squeeze-lts has now reached end-of-life and is no longer supported.
The bug is assumed to be fixed (or no longer relevant) in newer python
releases and therefore I'm closing this report now. If the problem is
still reproducible in the currently supported versions (python2.7,
python3.5/python3.6), feel free to provide more information, reopen
and reassign this bug report.
Andreas
