 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2013:262
 http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : python-pycrypto
 Date    : October 28, 2013
 Affected: Business Server 1.0
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 Updated python-pycrypto package fixes security vulnerability:
 
 In PyCrypto before v2.6.1, the Crypto.Random pseudo-random number
 generator (PRNG) exhibits a race condition that may cause it to
 generate the same 'random' output in multiple processes that are
 forked from each other.  Depending on the application, this could
 reveal sensitive information or cryptographic keys to remote attackers
 (CVE-2013-1445).
