Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The cryptography package, versions 0.5.0 up to but not including 48.0.1, ships wheels with a statically linked copy of OpenSSL that has a known vulnerability. The source gives few details about the flaw or what an attacker would need to exploit it. Upgrade cryptography to 48.0.1; if you build from source distributions, update the OpenSSL your build uses instead.
