python-crypto-2.6.1-22.fc27

FEDORA-2018-913c225b49 created by pghmcfc 5 years ago for Fedora 27

The textbook ElGamal implementation is not secure. PyCrypto and some other implementations use the wrong algorithm, which may lead to some information disclosure simply by looking at the encrypted text. For a full description, see https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/issues/253

This update includes a fix for this problem backported from pycryptodome.
