Overview

apache-libcloud is a standard Python library that abstracts away differences among multiple cloud provider APIs.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks. libcloud before 0.4.1 does not verify SSL certificates for HTTPS connections, which allows remote attackers to spoof certificates and bypass intended access restrictions via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.
