"According to the version of the python packages installed, the
EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following
vulnerability :

  - The Python standard library HTTP client modules (such
    as httplib or urllib) did not perform verification of
    TLS/SSL certificates when connecting to HTTPS servers.
    A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to
    hijack connections and eavesdrop or modify transferred
    data. (CVE-2014-9365)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues.");
