AI-suggested
Red Hat has released Red Hat Satellite 6.16.3 which includes fixes for these vulnerabilities. Users should upgrade to version 6.16.3 after applying all previously released errata relevant to their systems. Detailed update instructions are available in the Red Hat Satellite documentation. No additional mitigations are indicated beyond applying the official update.
Description
When using a `requests.Session`, if the first request to a given origin is made with `verify=False`, TLS certificate verification may remain disabled for all subsequent requests to that origin, even if `verify=True` is explicitly specified later. This occurs because the underlying connection is reused from the session's connection pool, causing the initial TLS verification setting to persist for the lifetime of the pooled connection. As a result, applications may unintentionally send requests without certificate verification, leading to potential man-in-the-middle attacks and compromised confidentiality or integrity. This behavior affects versions of `requests` prior to 2.32.0.
