  "summary": "Updated python-pytest package fixes a security vulnerability",
  "details": "On UNIX, pytest uses a predictable naming scheme under /tmp with a UID\ncheck for added security. The UID check however will follow symlinks,\nand is vulnerable to TOCTOU. This leaves pytest vulnerable to several\nwell-known vulnerabilities on multi-user systems. The risk ultimately\ndepends on how pytest is used, but denial of service is trivial and code\nexecution is possible.\n",
