CVE-2013-1629 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:17.10.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-virtualenv package and not the python-virtualenv package as distributed by Ubuntu.
pip before 1.3 uses HTTP to retrieve packages from the PyPI repository, and does not perform integrity checks on package contents, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted response to a "pip install" operation.
