DLA 2232-1: python-httplib2 security update

Package : python-httplib2
Version : 0.9+dfsg-2+deb8u1
CVE ID : CVE-2020-11078

In httplib2, an attacker controlling unescaped part of uri for
`httplib2.Http.request()` could change request headers and body, send
additional hidden requests to same server. This vulnerability impacts
software that uses httplib2 with uri constructed by string
concatenation, as opposed to proper urllib building with escaping.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
0.9+dfsg-2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-httplib2 packages.
