Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for python2.7.

CVE-2019-16056[0]:
| An issue was discovered in Python through 2.7.16, 3.x through 3.5.7,
| 3.6.x through 3.6.9, and 3.7.x through 3.7.4. The email module wrongly
| parses email addresses that contain multiple @ characters. An
| application that uses the email module and implements some kind of
| checks on the From/To headers of a message could be tricked into
| accepting an email address that should be denied. An attack may be the
| same as in CVE-2019-11340; however, this CVE applies to Python more
| generally.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
