Package        : python2.7
Version        : 2.7.9-2+deb8u5
CVE ID         : CVE-2019-16056


A vulnerability was discovered in Python, an interactive high-level
object-oriented language.

CVE-2019-16056

    The email module wrongly parses email addresses that contain
    multiple @ characters. An application that uses the email module and
    implements some kind of checks on the From/To headers of a message
    could be tricked into accepting an email address that should be
    denied.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
2.7.9-2+deb8u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your python2.7 packages.
