QID 671065: EulerOS Security Update for python-urllib3 (EulerOS-SA-2019-2362)

Python http module with connection pooling and file post abilities.
Security fix(es): urllib3 before version 1.23 does not remove the authorization http header when following a cross-origin redirect (i.e., a redirect that differs in host, port, or scheme).
This can allow for credentials in the authorization header to be exposed to unintended hosts or transmitted in cleartext.(cve-2018-20060)
