The pycrypto library contains at least one dangerous buffer overflow:
https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/issues/176
And the pycrypto project is inactive:
https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/issues/173
The list of our packages that use pycrypto:
python-axolotl-0.1.35
onionshare-0.9.2
python-flask-restful-swagger-0.19
python-swiftclient-2.6.0
jrnl-1.9.7
ansible-2.1.0.0

This comes through python-stem. I've contacted the stem maintainer about
this issue.

Based on my discussion with the Stem maintainer, I removed pycrypto from
the dependency graph of OnionShare and added a comment about removing
the pycrypto package in 4de2a710a6a309a1601f1cf6fc15b9b638d3a3cb and
1194575b3c44969e4f68cd10a62e6ed8603e39b4, respectively.

Thanks. Looks like another case of an important piece of software
lacking a maintainer…

At this point, I think it's recommended to use the 'cryptography'
module, which we have as python-cryptography. This seems to be where all
the development energy is being spent.
Debian adapted the upstream patch:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/python-crypto.git/commit/?id=0de2243837ed369a086f15c50cca2be85bdfab9d
What do people think?

Maybe we should apply this patch as well as progressively migrate to
python-cryptography whenever possible?

I applied the Debian patch in aa21c764d65068783ae31febee2a92eb3d138a24.
