Summary
python-pip regression
Details
USN-5821-1 fixed a vulnerability in wheel and pip. Unfortunately, it was missing a commit to fix it properly in pip.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
Sebastian Chnelik discovered that wheel incorrectly handled certain file names when validated against a regex expression. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
