How to fix?

Upgrade httplib2 to version 0.18.0 or higher.

Overview

httplib2 is a small HTTP client library for Python.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to CRLF Injection. An attacker controlling an unescaped part of uri for httplib2.Http.request() could change request headers and body, send additional hidden requests to same server. This vulnerability impacts software that uses httplib2 with uri constructed by string concatenation, as opposed to proper urllib building with escaping.
