python-cryptography-3.2.1-6.el8

The python-cryptography packages contain a Python Cryptographic Authority's (PyCA's) cryptography library, which provides cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers.

Security Fix(es):

* python-cryptography: memory corruption via immutable objects (CVE-2023-23931)

CVE-2023-23931
cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers. In affected versions `Cipher.update_into` would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as `bytes`) to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This now correctly raises an exception. This issue has been present since `update_into` was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.
