Summary
Updated python-pytest package fixes a security vulnerability
Details

On UNIX, pytest uses a predictable naming scheme under /tmp with a UID check for added security. The UID check however will follow symlinks, and is vulnerable to TOCTOU. This leaves pytest vulnerable to several well-known vulnerabilities on multi-user systems. The risk ultimately depends on how pytest is used, but denial of service is trivial and code execution is possible.
