Release     : 1.fc25

Summary     : Tools for Fedora Infrastructure real-time messaging
Description :
Python API used around Fedora Infrastructure to send and receive messages with
zeromq.  Includes some CLI tools.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

Fix validation logic in the base consumer  The base consumer is intended to only
derive its validation switch from the on-disk configuration if the child class
doesn't override the validate_signatures switch.  There was a bug here where the
default value provided in the base class made it appear as if *all* child
consumers had turned *off* validation, which is incorrect.  This fix turns on
signature validation by default while preserving the ability of child consumersto override the on-disk configuration in special cases.  - Fixes:
CVE-2017-1000001 - Reviewed-by: Patrick Uiterwijk
