Summary

Bazaar bundles SSL certificate checking code from Python, which
had a bug that could cause a denial of service via resource
consumption through multiple wildcards in certificate hostnames.

CVE-2017-14176

Adam Collard found that host names in 'bzr+ssh' URLs were not
parsed correctly by Bazaar, allowing remote attackers to run
arbitrary code by tricking a user into a maliciously crafted
URL.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
2.6.0~bzr6526-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your bzr packages.
