DESCRIPTION
__________
Python could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a race condition in the SSLSocket module. When the socket is closed before the TLS handshake is complete, the data is treated as if it had been encrypted by TLS. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass the TLS handshake and inject a malicious client certificate into the connection and gain access to the servers resources without being authenticated.
