NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-swiftclient package and not the python-swiftclient package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The OpenStack Python client library for Swift (python-swiftclient) 1.0 through 1.9.0 does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.
