    Description:

    This update to python 2.7.9 fixes the following issues:
    * python-2.7-libffi-aarch64.patch: Fix argument passing in libffi for
    aarch64

    From the version update to 2.7.9:
    * contains full backport of ssl module from Python 3.4 (PEP466)
    * HTTPS certificate validation enabled by default (PEP476)
    * SSLv3 disabled by default (bnc#901715)
    * backported ensurepip module (PEP477)
    * fixes several missing CVEs from last release: CVE-2013-1752,
    CVE-2013-1753
    * dropped upstreamed patches: python-2.7.6-poplib.patch,
    smtplib_maxline-2.7.patch, xmlrpc_gzip_27.patch
    * dropped patch python-2.7.3-ssl_ca_path.patch because we don't need it
    with ssl module from Python 3
    * libffi was upgraded upstream, seems to contain our changes, so
    dropping libffi-ppc64le.diff as well
    * python-2.7-urllib2-localnet-ssl.patch - properly remove unconditional
    "import ssl" from test_urllib2_localnet that caused it to fail without
    ssl

    * skip test_thread in qemu_linux_user mode

    From the version update to 2.7.8:
    * fixes CVE-2014-4650 directory traversal in CGIHTTPServer
    * fixes CVE-2014-7185 (bnc#898572) potential buffer overflow in buffer()

    Also the DH parameters were increased to 2048 bit to fix logjam security
    issue (bsc#935856)
